Ingredients

• 4 cups Kale
• 2 cups Green cabbage
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 medium Green apple
• 0.25 medium Red onion
• 0.5 cup Whole almonds
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the kale. Remove the tough stems and finely chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces before placing them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Thinly slice the green cabbage using a sharp knife or mandoline and add it to the bowl with the kale.

Step 3

Peel the large carrot and shred it using a box grater or food processor. Add the shredded carrot to the bowl.

Step 4

Core the green apple, leave the skin on, and cut it into thin matchstick slices (julienne). Add these to the bowl as well.

Step 5

Peel and thinly slice the red onion into quarter moons. Add the slices to the mixture in the bowl.

Step 6

Roughly chop the whole almonds or leave them whole for added crunch. Toast them lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant. Set them aside to cool.

Step 7

In a small bowl or jar with a lid, combine olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake well until the dressing emulsifies.

Step 8

Pour the prepared dressing over the kale, cabbage, and apple mixture. Toss everything thoroughly so the dressing evenly coats the slaw.

Step 9

Sprinkle the cooled almonds on top of the slaw just before serving for added texture and crunch.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
