   • In a large bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, sliced red, yellow, and green sweet peppers, thinly sliced celery, shredded carrot, thinly sliced radishes, and finely chopped green onions.

2. Toss the Vegetables:

   • Gently toss the vegetables until they are well combined. Ensure an even distribution of colors and textures.

3. Refrigerate:

   • Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad until you’re ready to serve. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and enhances the crispness of the vegetables.

4. Prepare the Dressing:

   • In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lime juice, dry mustard, honey, dried tarragon leaves, salt, and pepper.

5. Shake Well:

   • Secure the lid tightly on the jar and shake vigorously until all the ingredients are well incorporated. The dressing should have a smooth consistency.

6. Serve:

   • When ready to serve, shake the dressing once more to ensure it’s well mixed. Drizzle the desired amount of dressing over the salad and lightly toss to coat the vegetables evenly.

7. Plate with Spinach Leaves and Tomatoes:

   • Divide the dressed salad into 4 equal portions and arrange them on salad plates lined with fresh spinach leaves. Place four tomato wedges around the edges of each plate for an extra burst of color and flavor.
