Ingredients
For the Salad:
About 5 cups cabbage- (I use 1/2 of a small-medium green cabbage, napa cabbage, savoy cabbage or 10 oz bagged pre-shredded coleslaw mix)
2 medium carrots- shredded
1 large apple- cored and shredded
2 green onions- chopped
1/2 cup cilantro/parsley (I prefer cilantro but whatever you have on hand works great!)- rough chopped
1 Tbsp lemon juice
For the Dressing:
1/2 cup Homemade Mayonnaise or other avocado oil based mayonnaise
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp honey
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Optional add-ins: sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- Mix all dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Taste and adjust salt/pepper/vinegar as desired. Set aside.
- Squeeze about 1 Tbsp lemon into a large bowl. Shred the apple into the bowl and toss with the lemon juice. This will keep the apple from turning brown.
- Add shredded carrots, cabbage, chopped green onion and cilantro.
- Toss everything in the large bowl with the dressing.
- Refrigerate for an hour to allow the flavors to blend. Toss with optional add-ins if desired before serving.
- Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
