Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 1 large Carrot
- 1 medium Apple (Granny Smith or similar)
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1.5 cups Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Poppy seeds (optional)
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables and fruits. Finely shred the green cabbage 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 slices or small cubes. Add the apple pieces to the bowl and toss to combine.
If using fresh pineapple, cut it into bite-sized chunks. For canned pineapple, ensure it is well-drained. Add the pineapple chunks to the slaw mixture.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, and poppy seeds (if using) until smooth and well combined. This is your dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable and fruit mixture in the large bowl.
Gently toss everything together until the dressing evenly coats all the ingredients.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding a pinch more salt or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Serve cold as a side dish and enjoy your fresh, fruity low-fat coleslaw!
