Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by washing and drying your fresh vegetables thoroughly. In a large bowl, combine shredded green cabbage, shredded red cabbage, shredded carrots, thinly sliced Brussels sprouts, thinly sliced fennel, and chopped parsley. Gently toss until well mixed.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth.
Pour the dressing over the mixed vegetables. Toss the mixture thoroughly for about 1 minute until every piece is evenly coated.
Gently fold in pomegranate seeds and chopped walnuts into the slaw mixture. Mix carefully to preserve the integrity of the ingredients.
Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate your slaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Once chilled, give the slaw a final toss to combine any settled ingredients and serve.

Notes

Use the freshest veggies possible for the best flavor and crunch. You can store the slaw in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze it without the dressing for up to 2 months.
