Description

A vibrant, no-cook spring slaw bursting with seasonal crunch and color. This 5-ingredient salad combines purple and green cabbage, carrots, parsley, and mixed seeds for a refreshing dish that pairs with grilled chicken, fish, or plant-based proteins. Tossed with a zesty dressing, it’s a healthy, versatile side ready in under 20 minutes.

1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt


Instructions

Finely slice purple and green cabbages using a sharp knife or mandoline
Shred carrots and combine with cabbages, parsley, and mixed seeds in a large bowl
