Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 8 ounces raw cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 4 ounces red cabbage, finely shredded
  • 2 ounces carrots, grated
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped

Dressing

  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup avocado oil (or any oil)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep: Gather all ingredients and wash the vegetables thoroughly.
  2. Cut Vegetables: Cut cauliflower into small florets, finely shred the red cabbage, grate the carrots, and finely chop the fresh chives. Place them all into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Make Dressing: In a jar or small bowl, combine apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, Dijon mustard, avocado oil, salt, and pepper. Seal and shake well or whisk the mixture until smooth and emulsified.
  4. Combine Salad: Pour the dressing over the prepared vegetables in the bowl and toss everything together thoroughly to evenly coat all the ingredients.
  5. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad. For best flavor, allow it to marinate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours before serving to let the tangy dressing infuse the vegetables.

Notes

  • This salad is best served chilled and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • You can substitute the avocado oil with olive oil or another light vegetable oil based on preference.
  • Adjust sugar and salt in the dressing according to taste to balance acidity and seasoning.
  • Adding fresh herbs like parsley or dill could add extra flavor if desired.
