Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups shredded green and purple cabbage mix
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, cucumber, and parsley in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey or maple syrup, salt, and pepper until fully combined. This makes your tangy cabbage salad dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture.
- Toss everything well until the vegetables are evenly coated.
- For best texture, cover the salad and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For extra crunch, add 1/2 cup of toasted ramen noodles just before serving if you prefer a texture similar to Asian Cabbage Salad.
- This salad works well for meal planning and keeps its crunch for several days in the refrigerator.
