Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Reduced-fat mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Celery seed
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables. Thinly slice the green cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. You should have about 4 cups of shredded cabbage.
Peel the carrots and then grate them using the large holes on a box grater or a food processor. Add the grated carrots to the cabbage.
Finely slice half a medium red onion and add it to the cabbage and carrot mixture in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by combining the reduced-fat mayonnaise and low-fat Greek yogurt. Whisk together until smooth.
Add apple cider vinegar, honey, celery seed, ground black pepper, and salt to the mayonnaise-yogurt mixture. Whisk well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage, carrot, and onion mix. Using a large spoon or spatula, gently mix until the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a good stir and taste. Adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar according to preference.
Serve chilled as a refreshing, heart-healthy side dish.
