• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Core and thinly slice the green cabbage and red cabbage into shreds. Place the cabbage in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the mixing bowl.

Step 3

Finely dice the jalapeño, removing seeds for less heat if desired. Add the diced jalapeño to the bowl.

Thinly slice the red onion and chop the cilantro. Add both to the bowl with the other vegetables.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss everything together until well combined.

Step 7

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the slaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Before serving, toss the slaw again and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve chilled as a side dish for BBQ meats, sandwiches, or tacos.
