Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 large carrot, shredded
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine the shredded green cabbage, purple cabbage, shredded carrot, and sliced red onion in a large bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey or maple syrup, celery salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
  3. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture.
  4. Toss all ingredients well until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  5. For best flavor, let the salad sit for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the cabbage to soften slightly and absorb the dressing.

Notes

  • If you prefer a sweeter dressing, increase the honey or maple syrup to 1.5 tablespoons.
  • You can add 1/4 cup of fresh chopped parsley for extra color and freshness.
  • This salad holds up well for meal prepping for up to three days in the refrigerator.
