A refreshing and colorful winter slaw featuring red cabbage, apples, and a zesty citrus dressing.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, orange juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
For a smoother dressing, ensure the honey is at room temperature before mixing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, sliced green apples, grated carrots, and sliced red onion.
Use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin slices of vegetables.
Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss well to coat evenly.
Let the salad sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle with toasted pecans, dried cranberries, and fresh parsley.
Add the nuts and cranberries just before serving to maintain their texture.
Serve the salad immediately and enjoy its vibrant flavors and textures.
This salad pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal.
