Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, grated carrots, thinly sliced red bell pepper, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro. Toss to mix.
- To prepare the dressing, in a separate small bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well blended.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad. Toss the salad until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Let the salad rest for at least 10 minutes. This allows the veggies to absorb the dressing and the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the salad chilled. For the best flavor, serve the salad immediately after it has been dressed.
Tips
- For an added crunch, consider adding some toasted nuts or seeds, such as almonds or sesame seeds.
- If you're not a fan of cilantro, fresh parsley or mint would make a great substitute.
