Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups, finely shredded Green cabbage
- 2 cups, finely shredded Red cabbage
- 1 cup, grated Carrots
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise (sugar-free or low-carb)
- 0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon, or to taste Stevia or other sugar-free sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Celery seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and grated carrots.
Sprinkle the salt over the vegetable mixture. Toss well and let sit for 10 minutes to allow the cabbage to release some of its moisture.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, stevia, celery seeds, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
After the vegetables have rested, gently squeeze out any excess liquid from the cabbage mixture using clean hands or a paper towel.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or stevia as needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
Serve chilled. This coleslaw pairs perfectly with grilled meats or as a light side dish for any meal.
