Ingredients

• 4 cups Green cabbage, thinly shredded
• 2 cups Purple cabbage, thinly shredded
• 1 cup Carrots, shredded
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, julienned

• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.33 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the green cabbage, purple cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper, green onion, and parsley. Toss to mix evenly.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until the vinaigrette is well emulsified.

Step 3

Pour the sweet-tart vinaigrette over the veggie mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all vegetables evenly.

Step 4

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container.

Step 5

Refrigerate the slaw overnight (or for at least 8 hours) to allow the vegetables to soften slightly and absorb the flavors of the vinaigrette.

Step 6

Before serving, toss the slaw again to redistribute the dressing.

Step 7

Serve chilled as a side dish or a topping for sandwiches, tacos, or burgers.
