Ingredients
Slaw:
- 10 0z shrdded brussel sprouts (around 3 cups)
- 3 oz shredded carrots (avround 1 cup)
- 1/2 small purple cabbage shredded (about 2-3 cups)

Instructions
- Shred the sprouts or buy pre-shred brussels sprouts. I bought pre-shaved Brussels at Trader Joe’s, however, I still had to pick out some of the tough parts and hand shred a few pieces. To shred Brussel sprouts at home, cut off the tough ends and shred in a food processor, or cut in half then rough chop with a knife
- Add shredded Brussels to a large bowl and mix in 3 oz (about 1 cup) shredded carrots
- Finely chop 1/2 a small purple cabbage and mix it into the bowl of veggies
- Whisk together apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, and mustard
- Pour over veggies and stir to coat. Add salt and pepper to taste
- The slaw can be served immediately, but it tastes best after it marinades together for a couple of hours
- Cover and refrigerate for up to 4-5 days
