Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 1 medium Carrot
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Light mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Celery seed
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Finely shred the green cabbage until you have 4 cups. You can use a food processor for a finer texture or a sharp knife for a chunkier texture.
Peel and grate the carrot. Set aside.
Finely chop the red onion to make 1/4 cup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped red onion. Toss them together until they are well mixed.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to combine, ensuring all the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld. For best results, let it chill for 2 hours.
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve chilled.
