Ingredients

• 1 medium head red cabbage
• 2 large carrots
• 4 stalks green onions
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
• 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage and rinse the head under cold water. Slice the cabbage in half and remove the core. Shred the cabbage finely using a mandoline slicer, food processor, or a sharp knife. You should have about 5-6 cups of shredded cabbage.

Step 2

Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor. You will need about 1 and 1/2 to 2 cups of grated carrots.

Step 3

Rinse the green onions and slice thinly, both the white and green parts.

Step 4

Chop the fresh cilantro coarsely, removing any large stems.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, grated carrots, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well blended.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine thoroughly. Ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 8

Let the slaw sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
