Simple Carrot & Cabbage Salad

This simple carrot-and-cabbage salad is crisp and refreshing. It’s tossed in a light vinaigrette made with lemon, honey and Dijon mustard, allowing the natural sweetness of the carrots and the crunch of the cabbage to shine. Enjoy this salad on its own as a side dish, or try piling it onto a burger, stuffing it into tacos for extra crunch, or using it as a bright, tangy filling in a wrap.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1½ teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 5 cups loosely packed shredded green cabbage
  • 1 large carrot, grated or shaved into ribbons (about 1 heaping cup)

Directions

  1. Combine 2 tablespoons each lemon juice, oil and chives, 1 tablespoon honey, 1½ teaspoons mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic powder and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper in a quart-size Mason jar. Cover tightly and shake until the dressing is smooth and emulsified, about 10 seconds.
  2. Add 4 cups cabbage to the jar; cover and shake until the cabbage has wilted slightly (to about two-thirds of its original volume).
  3. Add grated (or shaved) carrot and the remaining 1 cup cabbage; shake until well combined, about 30 seconds.
