Ingredients

• 1 medium head red cabbage
• 3 medium carrots
• 3 stalks green onions
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the vegetables. Thinly slice the red cabbage with a sharp knife or use a mandoline for even slices. Place the cabbage in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the cabbage in the mixing bowl.

Step 3

Slice the green onions thinly, using both white and green parts. Add them to the bowl with the cabbage and carrots.

Step 4

Chop the fresh cilantro roughly and add it to the bowl as well.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing. Combine the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Whisk together until well emulsified.

Step 6

Add the garlic powder, black pepper, and sea salt to the dressing, and whisk again until all the ingredients are fully integrated.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture in the large bowl.

Step 8

Using clean hands or salad tongs, toss the coleslaw thoroughly to ensure that the dressing evenly coats all the vegetables.

Step 9

Let the coleslaw sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This dish can be served immediately or can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Step 10

Serve the coleslaw fresh as a side dish or topping for proteins like grilled chicken or fish to complete your Whole30 meal.
