Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the whole-grain mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil until smooth and emulsified.

Step 6

Season the dressing with salt and black pepper, then taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss well to coat evenly.

Step 8

Let the slaw sit for 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld. Toss once more before serving.

Step 9

Serve as a side dish or as a light meal. This slaw pairs beautifully with grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
