Crunchy Cabbage Salad with Dijon-Lime Dressing

Green and purple cabbage with carrot and cilantro in a sharp Dijon-lime dressing, topped with toasted sunflower seeds.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 tbsp toasted sunflower seeds
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp honey (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the green cabbage, purple cabbage, carrot and cilantro.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the Dijon mustard, lime juice, olive oil and honey until smooth.
  3. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to coat.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Sprinkle the toasted sunflower seeds over the top just before serving.
  6. Serve right away, or let the salad sit for 10 minutes so the flavors can blend.

Notes

For a sweeter dressing, add a little more honey. Grilled chicken or shrimp on top turns it into a fuller plate.
