Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pasta (small shapes like fusilli or elbows)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup red cabbage, finely shredded
- 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside to cool completely.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the broccoli by cutting it into small florets. Blanch the broccoli briefly in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then immediately transfer it to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Drain well and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, blanched broccoli, shredded carrots, shredded red cabbage, and sliced green onions.
In a separate smaller bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the pasta and vegetable mixture. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the slaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Give the slaw a final toss before serving. Serve cold or at room temperature as a side dish or a light main course.
