Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 2 medium Carrot
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 small Red onion
• 1 cup Fresh parsley
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the vegetables. Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage, cut it in half, and remove the core. Finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline, and place it in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the shredded cabbage.

Step 3

Remove the seeds and stem from the red bell pepper. Thinly slice the bell pepper into strips and add it to the mixing bowl.

Step 4

Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Rinse the slices under cold water to remove some of the harshness, then drain and add them to the salad bowl.

Step 5

Chop the fresh parsley roughly and add it to the mix, bringing a fresh flavor to the salad.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and ground black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl. Toss everything together until the cabbage and other vegetables are thoroughly coated with the dressing.

Step 8

Let the salad sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Serve the shredded cabbage salad as a refreshing side dish or a light main course.
