A subtle kick of Dijon mustard, along with salt and black pepper, balances the flavors perfectly.

Remove any damaged outer leaves from the green cabbage and slice it in half. Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly shred the cabbage. Place it in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and shred them using a box grater or food processor. Add the shredded carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moons. Add the slices to the mixing bowl.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage, carrots, and onion. Toss everything together with tongs or clean hands to evenly coat the vegetables in the dressing.
Let the coleslaw sit for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed before serving.
Serve chilled as a side dish or topping for sandwiches and tacos.
