½ cup raisins

¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

¼ cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, shredded apple, raisins, and chopped parsley. Toss all the ingredients together gently until well distributed.

    In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard until smooth and creamy.

      Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.

        Season the coleslaw with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting based on your preference.

          Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the coleslaw to become chilled.

            Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss to redistribute the dressing.
