Instructions

In a large bowl, combine cabbage, apple, red onion, celery, scallions, and parsley.
In a separate bowl, whisk together mustard, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, honey, celery seed, salt, pepper, and olive oil until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until evenly coated.
Let stand 10–15 minutes (or chill up to 30 minutes) to slightly soften the cabbage and meld flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired, then serve alongside the Cajun dirty rice and blackened chicken.
