If you’re looking for something fresh, vibrant, and ridiculously easy to throw together, this is one of those recipes you’ll keep coming back to.
It’s the kind of salad that feels light but still full of flavor, a perfect balance between sweet, tangy, and crunchy.
I love making this when I want something quick but still impressive on the table. The combination of crisp purple cabbage, sweet apple, and chewy dried plums, all tied together with a simple honey mustard dressing… honestly, it just works.
Let’s get straight to it!
Cabbage Salad with Apple & Honey Mustard
Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
Salad:
- 1 cup finely shredded purple cabbage
- 1 apple (Fuji or Gala), thinly sliced
- 4 dried plums (prunes), chopped
- 1 small carrot, grated (optional, but recommended)
Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon mustard (optional, but adds great flavor)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Step-By-Step / Instructions
1) Finely shred the purple cabbage and place it in a large bowl.
2) Add the grated carrot, sliced apple, and chopped dried plums.
3) In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar), mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
4) Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss well until everything is evenly coated.
5) Allow the salad to sit for about 10 minutes. This helps the flavors blend beautifully and slightly softens the cabbage.
6) Give it one final toss before serving.
7) Enjoy it fresh as a side dish or even as a light meal.
