Ingredients

• 6 cups Green cabbage
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 3 stalks Green onion
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Sunflower seeds

Directions

Step 1

Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, finely shred the green cabbage into thin strips until you have about 6 cups. Transfer the shredded cabbage to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel the carrot and grate it using the large holes of a box grater. Add the grated carrot to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces and thinly slice the green onion stalks. Add both to the mixing bowl.

Step 4

Finely chop the fresh parsley and fold it into the salad mixture for a touch of freshness and flavor.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all the vegetables evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the sunflower seeds on top for added crunch and flavor.

Step 8

Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
