Ingredients

• 1 head (approximately 2 pounds) Green cabbage
• 2 medium Carrots
• 1 small Onion
• 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 0.33 cup Sugar
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then core and finely shred it using a sharp knife or a food processor.

Step 2

Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or a food processor. Finely slice the onion.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and sliced onion. Toss to mix well.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, sugar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the dressing is warm but not boiling.

Step 5

Pour the warm sweet and sour dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss well to evenly coat the vegetables in the dressing.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to a large skillet or sauté pan and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage just begins to wilt but still retains some crunch.

Step 7

Remove from heat and let the cole slaw rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm as a side dish.
