Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 1 large Carrot
- 1 large Apple (preferably a crisp variety like Fuji or Granny Smith)
- 1 medium Banana
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Finely shred the green and red cabbage and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrot, then add it to the bowl with the cabbage.
Core the apple and cut it into thin matchstick-sized pieces. Alternatively, you can shred the apple. Add it to the bowl.
Slice the banana into thin rounds and gently toss it with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning. Then, add it to the bowl of vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and gently toss everything together until evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the banana slices while mixing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
Chill the coleslaw in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the coleslaw cold as a side dish or enjoy it on its own for a light and fruity snack!
