Ingredients
- 5 cups Green cabbage

- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat or low-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise (light)
- 1.5 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions
Using a sharp knife or a food processor with a shredding blade, finely shred the green cabbage to measure 5 cups.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or a food processor grater attachment.
Finely dice or thinly slice the red onion to measure 1/4 cup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, and red onion. Toss to mix evenly.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all the vegetables evenly in the dressing.

Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish or topping. Enjoy your light creamy coleslaw!
