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

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, coarsely grated carrots, and sliced green onions.

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  3. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to coat the vegetables evenly.

  4. Add the sliced almonds (or sunflower seeds) and toss again.

  5. 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.
