Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper
  • 2 cups finely diced broccoli
  • 2 cups shredded red cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 green onions, chopped green onions, chopped
  • ½ cup sliced almonds (optional topping)

Equipment

  • Whisk
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Chef's Knife
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic, ginger, honey, salt, and pepper. Whisk well to combine the dressing.
  2. To the large bowl of dressing, add the broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cilantro, parsley, and green onion. Toss well to coat the veggies in the dressing. If you have time, the flavor gets better as the veggies marinate, so it's best if the salad can rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
  3. Stir well just before serving, then top with the sliced almonds for added crunch. Leftover salad can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Nutrition Information: This is for half of the recipe, assuming you use all of the almonds. It's an estimate and not guaranteed.
  • Nut-Free Option: For a nut-free salad, top with sliced avocado or sunflower seeds instead of almonds.
