• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the vegetables: Remove any outer leaves of the green and red cabbage. Halve them and remove the cores. Thinly slice each half into shreds, then place into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Deseed the red bell pepper and slice it into thin strips. Add these to the cabbage.

Step 3

Peel the carrots and shred them using a grater or a food processor. Add to the other vegetables in the bowl.

Step 4

Finely chop the cilantro and thinly slice the green onions. Add both to the vegetable mix.

Step 5

In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by combining the juice of the limes, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin. Whisk until the dressing is well combined.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the vegetable mix. Toss everything together until all the vegetables are well coated in the dressing.

Step 7

Taste the coleslaw, and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper as desired.

Step 8

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.

Step 9

Serve chilled as a side dish for grilled meats or enjoy on its own as a refreshing salad.
