Cabbage, Carrot, and Apple Salad
Ingredients

  • 2 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup red cabbage, shredded
  • 1 large carrot, shredded
  • 1 large apple (Granny Smith or Fuji works well), julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil – (can use less for lower points, or use a 0-point dressing)
  • 1 tbsp honey or 1 tsp sugar (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Prepare Vegetables and Apple: In a large bowl, combine the shredded green and red cabbage, shredded carrot, and julienned apple. Toss in the fresh parsley if using.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey or sugar (if using), salt, and pepper.
  3. Combine and Toss: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss everything together until well coated.
  4. Serve: Serve immediately for maximum crunch or let it sit in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Tips

  • Add Crunch: Top with sliced almonds or sunflower seeds for extra crunch.
  • Make Ahead: This salad can be made a few hours ahead of time. Just add the apple and dressing right before serving to keep it fresh and crisp.
