**Tangy Carrot, Red Cabbage, and Onion Salad: A Trio of Crunchy Delights**

Colorful and bursting with flavor, this tangy salad is a delightful blend of crisp carrots, vibrant red cabbage, and pungent red onion, all tossed in a zesty dressing.

The carrots provide a sweet crunch, while the red cabbage adds a slightly peppery bite. The red onion brings a sharp, pungent flavor that perfectly balances the sweetness of the carrots. The tangy dressing, made with a combination of vinegar, olive oil, honey, and mustard, ties all the flavors together, creating a salad that is both refreshing and satisfying.

This versatile salad is a perfect side dish for grilled meats, fish, or chicken. It can also be served as a light lunch or dinner, topped with grilled tofu or tempeh. For a vegan option, substitute the honey in the dressing with maple syrup or agave nectar.
