Ingredients

• 1 medium head green cabbage
• 2 large carrots
• 1 small red onion
• 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon celery seed
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Shred the green cabbage by first cutting it in half and removing the core. Use a sharp knife or a mandoline to finely slice it into thin strips and place the shreds in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moons. Add the sliced onion to the coleslaw mix.

Step 4

In a smaller mixing bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, celery seed, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until the dressing is well-emulsified.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the shredded cabbage, carrots, and onion mix.

Step 6

Using tongs or clean hands, toss the vegetables in the dressing until all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the coleslaw to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Before serving, give the coleslaw another good toss and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
