Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Green cabbage (4 cups, thinly sliced)
  • Radishes (1 cup, thinly sliced)
  • Carrots (1 cup, grated)
  • Red onion (1/2 cup, thinly sliced)
  • Fresh parsley (1/4 cup, chopped)
  • Olive oil (1/4 cup)
  • Lemon juice (2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed)
  • Dijon mustard (1 tablespoon)
  • Honey (1 tablespoon)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing the vegetables. In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced cabbage, sliced radishes, grated carrots, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped parsley.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined. This dressing will bring a tangy sweetness that enhances the salad's flavors.
  3. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss gently to coat all the vegetables evenly with the dressing.
  4. Allow the salad to sit for at least 10 minutes. This resting time will help the flavors meld and the cabbage soften slightly while maintaining its crunch.
  5. Serve the salad chilled for a refreshing experience. Enjoy!
