This bright and crunchy slaw is as versatile as it is vibrant. Serve it as a fresh side dish, add a pop of colour and crunch to tacos, or stuff it into sandwiches and wraps. The tangy apple cider vinaigrette ties everything together with a touch of sweetness, and the optional toasted seeds add a satisfying crunch.
4 cups shredded red cabbage
1 crisp apple, thinly sliced or julienned
1 large carrot, grated or julienned
2 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
Salt & pepper, to taste
Optional toppings: Toasted pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, or both!
For the Dressing:
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp honey or maple syrup
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper, to taste
In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cabbage, apple, carrot, and parsley.
Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss well to coat evenly.
Let it sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.
Sprinkle with toasted seeds just before serving, if using.
