Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Slaw:

  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 2 cups shredded red cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds (toasted for extra crunch)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

For the Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Prepare the slaw mix:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, dried cranberries, sliced almonds, and parsley. Toss to combine.
  • Make the dressing:
    • In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until well emulsified.
  • Toss and serve:
    • Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss thoroughly to coat.
    • Let the slaw sit for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • This slaw can be made up to 1 day in advance. Keep the almonds separate and add just before serving to maintain their crunch.
  • Add 1/2 cup of thinly sliced red onion or diced apples for extra flavor and texture.
