• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the vegetables. Shred the green cabbage into thin strips, using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Measure out 4 cups and place it in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Thaw 1 cup of frozen green peas by rinsing them under lukewarm water. Pat them dry with a clean paper towel and add to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Peel and shred the carrot using a box grater or food processor. Add the shredded carrot to the bowl.

Step 4

Finely dice 1/4 cup of red onion and mix it into the bowl with the cabbage, peas, and carrot.

Step 5

Prepare the dressing in a separate smaller bowl. Combine 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard.

Step 6

Season the dressing with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk everything together until the dressing is smooth and well blended.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture in the large mixing bowl. Use a spatula or large spoon to toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated in the dressing.

Step 8

Chop 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad. Toss lightly to incorporate.

Step 9

For best results, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Serve chilled as a side dish or light meal. Enjoy your refreshing Pea Cabbage Salad!
