Ingredients
  

SALAD:

  • 4 cups shredded red cabbage – about ½ head of a small cabbage or 0.8 pounds / 380 grams
  • 1 cup shredded carrot – about 1 medium carrot
  • 1 cup shredded Cripps Pink apple – about 1 medium apple
  • ½ cup parsley, finely chopped
  • ½ small/medium red onion, thinly sliced*

APPLE CIDER VINAIGRETTE:

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp coconut nectar or maple syrup – I used coconut nectar
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp granulated garlic
  • ¼ tsp ground coriander optional

Instructions
 

  • In a big bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing.
  • Add cabbage, carrot, apple, parsley and onion. Toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Cover and place in the fridge for 1 hour or 2 to allow the vegetables to marinate in the vinaigrette.
  • Enjoy this vibrant salad!

Notes

* I don’t like the strong taste of raw onions, so I place the sliced onions in a small bowl and cover them with boiling water. After ten minutes, I drain and rinse the onions with cold water. Bye-bye pungent taste, hello delicious mild flavor.
