Ingredients
  

4 cups red cabbage, finely shredded

1 medium carrot, grated

1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

2 green onions, sliced

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/4 cup sunflower seeds or chopped nuts for crunch

Instructions
 

In a large bowl, add the finely shredded red cabbage, grated carrot, sliced red bell pepper, chopped cilantro, and sliced green onions. Toss the ingredients together to evenly distribute them.

    In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and olive oil until well blended to create a dressing.

      Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to ensure all the ingredients are coated evenly.

        Season the slaw with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the acidity or sweetness with more vinegar or honey as desired.

          If you want to add crunch, sprinkle sunflower seeds or chopped nuts on top and gently mix in.

            Allow the slaw to sit for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator before serving, as this will enhance the flavors and improve the texture.
