A vibrant and tangy red cabbage slaw perfect for any occasion.
Thinly slice the red cabbage and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Use a sharp knife or a mandoline for even slices.
Grate the carrots and add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
Peel the carrots before grating for a smoother texture.
Chop the green onions and mix them with the cabbage and carrots.
Include both the white and green parts of the onion for added flavor.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper.
Whisk the dressing ingredients thoroughly to ensure they are well combined.
Microwave the dressing for 30 seconds to blend the flavors.
Be cautious when removing the bowl from the microwave as it may be hot.
Pour the warm dressing over the vegetables and toss well to coat.
Toss the salad gently to avoid bruising the vegetables.
Refrigerate the slaw for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid to keep the slaw fresh.
Serve the slaw chilled as a side dish or topping.
Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or chopped parsley for a decorative touch.
