Ingredients

Salad ingredients

  • 6 cups shredded red cabbage from about ½ large head
  • 2 cups shredded carrots about 2 large
  • ½ cup sliced green onions aka scallions
  • ½ cup chopped fresh mint more to taste
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Dressing ingredients

Instructions

  • Prep vegetables and herbs, then combine in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk the olive oil, lime juice, salt, and sugar.
  • Keep whisking as you pour the dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss well until coated.
  • Enjoy right away or let the slaw chill for an hour in a covered bowl in the fridge before serving.

Notes

  • Use bags of pre-shredded cabbage and carrots to save a ton of prep time.
  • To make in advance, combine the salad ingredients in an airtight container and dressing ingredients in a separate container. Store in the fridge. Dress salad right before serving, making sure to whisk the dressing before pouring it.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 5 days. The recipe does taste best right away, since it will get soggier the longer it sits in the dressing.
