    150 grams of carrot (approx 3 medium skinny carrots)

    190 grams of sweet yellow, red, or orange bell pepper (approx 1 med-large pepper)

Tips

Caution: this salad makes a LOT (8 cups total). It is best left for a couple hours in the fridge for the flavours to meld, and best eaten within a few days of making it.


Directions

Serving Size: makes 16 half cup servings

Chop cabbage, carrot, apple, and pepper very finely. Place in a very large bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk together mustard, lemon juice and balsamic vinegar. Then slowly whisk in oil. After everything is mixed, whisk in sugar until it has dissolved.

Add dressing to salad and toss well. Place in refrigerator friendly containers and let sit for anywhere from a few hours up to 24 hours before serving for all the flavours to meld together.
