Ingredients

• 1 small head green cabbage
• 0.5 head red cabbage
• 2 medium carrots
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup, chopped cilantro
• 1 small jalapeño
• 1 large avocado
• 0.25 cup lime juice
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the green cabbage and red cabbage thinly, discarding the core. Place the sliced cabbage in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel and grate the carrots and add them to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Deseed and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and add to the bowl.

Step 4

Finely chop the cilantro and jalapeño, removing seeds from the jalapeño if less heat is desired, and add them to the mix.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, make the dressing by blending the avocado until smooth. Stir in the lime juice, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and dijon mustard.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the olive oil to emulsify the dressing, then season with salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to combine, ensuring all the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 8

Serve immediately or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
