Ingredients
6 cups Red cabbage (shredded)
3 medium Carrots (coarsely grated)
3 medium Green onions (sliced – green parts only)
1/3 cup Extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp Honey (or sugar-free honey for a lower-carb version)
1/2 tsp Sea salt (to taste)
1/4 tsp Black pepper (to taste)
1/2 cup Almonds (sliced or sunflower seeds for a nut-free option)
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, coarsely grated carrots, and sliced green onions.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
-
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to coat the vegetables evenly.
-
Add the sliced almonds (or sunflower seeds) and toss again.
-
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
You can substitute the almonds with other nuts like walnuts, pecans, or sunflower seeds for different textures.
For a lower-carb version, use a sugar-free sweetener instead of honey.
Add grilled chicken, tofu, or chickpeas to make it a more filling meal.
Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro can elevate the flavor, and citrus like lemon or orange juice adds a nice twist.
