Directions

Mix the mustard, honey and vinegar in the bottom of a salad bowl. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Whisking continuously, slowly add in the olive oil in a steady stream. The dressing will emulsify into a thick creamy sauce. Taste for salt.
Pile the cabbage on top of the dressing and top with the grated carrots, red onion, parsley, scallions, and almonds. About 10-15 minutes before serving, toss the salad to coat. Taste for salt and pepper. Leave in a cool place until needed. Serve.

Chef Tips

Cabbage leaves are tougher than lettuce, so unlike softer salad greens which can spoil, it’s ok to toss and soften cabbage in the dressing for a while before serving. This salad happens to be delicious made with shredded green cabbage, but since green cabbage leaves are not as soft as Napa cabbage, it will need to sit about 30 minutes before being ready to eat.
