Prepare the Vegetables:
Begin by washing and prepping all your vegetables. In a large salad bowl, combine the finely shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped broccoli florets, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced celery, and diced cucumber. Add the freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Gently toss these vegetables together to mix them evenly. -
Make the Dressing:
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Continue whisking until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and emulsified. This dressing will provide a zesty and light flavor that perfectly complements the fresh vegetables. -
Combine and Serve:
Pour the prepared dressing over the mixed vegetables in the large bowl. Toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated with the dressing. Make sure to toss gently to avoid bruising the delicate vegetables. -
Chill and Enjoy:
For the best flavor, allow the coleslaw to chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld together beautifully, resulting in a refreshing and delicious side dish.
