Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups (finely chopped) Green cabbage
- 1 cup (shredded or finely chopped) Carrots
- 0.25 cup (finely minced) White onion
- 0.5 cup Fat-free plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat mayo or light mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Vinegar (white or apple cider)
- 2.5 tablespoons Granulated sugar or sugar substitute
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Finely chop the green cabbage and shred or finely chop the carrots. A food processor may help achieve the small and uniform texture that resembles KFC coleslaw.
Mince the white onion to a fine consistency, then combine it with the cabbage and carrots in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the fat-free plain Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar or sugar substitute, lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and stir until the vegetables are fully coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a good stir and adjust seasoning to taste, if needed.
