Ingredients
  

  • 1 small head of green cabbage chopped

  • 1 cup bell peppers chopped (red and yellow for color!)
  • 1/2 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds for that extra crunch
  • 1/4 cup vinegar apple cider or white
  • 1/4 cup olive oil for smoothness
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar for a hint of sweetness
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Start by chopping the cabbage into thin strips, grating the carrots, and chopping the bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the red onion, ensuring a delightful crunch in your salad.
  2. Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, toss together the chopped cabbage, grated carrots, chopped bell peppers, sliced red onion, and sunflower seeds.
  3. Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, honey or sugar, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss well to ensure everything is coated.
  5. Let it Sit: Allow the salad to sit for about 10 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors. This time allows the veggies to soak up the dressing deliciously.
