Ingredients

• 1 medium head red cabbage
• 2 large carrot
• 0.5 red onion
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves from the red cabbage and cut it into quarters. Remove the core, then thinly slice the cabbage into fine shreds using a sharp knife or a mandolin. Transfer the sliced cabbage to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Thinly slice half of a red onion and add it to the bowl with the cabbage and carrots.

Step 4

Chop the fresh parsley finely and add it to the vegetables in the mixing bowl.

Step 5

In a separate smaller bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the sliced vegetables and gently toss everything together using tongs or a large spoon until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Cover the mixing bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is optional but recommended.

Step 9

Before serving, give the coleslaw a gentle toss to incorporate any dressing that may have settled at the bottom.

Step 10

Serve the red cabbage coleslaw as a refreshing side dish to complement your favorite main courses.
