- 1 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots. Toss them together until evenly mixed.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, anchovy paste (if using), salt, and black pepper to create the Caesar dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the coleslaw, reserving a small amount for garnish, and mix again.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the coleslaw to a serving dish, sprinkle the top with the reserved Parmesan cheese and crushed croutons for extra texture, and serve chilled.
