• 2 stalks green onions
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the carrots and shred them using a box grater or food processor. Place the shredded carrots in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel the mandarin oranges, separate the segments, and cut each segment in half. Add them to the mixing bowl with the carrots.

Step 3

Finely slice the green onions and chop the parsley. Add both to the bowl with the carrots and oranges.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the carrot and orange mixture. Toss everything together gently to coat the ingredients evenly in the dressing.

Step 6

Let the slaw sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or serve immediately as a fresh, crunchy side dish.
