Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 1 medium Carrot
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Celery seed
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables: remove the outer leaves of the green cabbage, and using a sharp knife or a mandolin, shred the cabbage into thin strips to yield about 4 cups.
Peel the carrot and grate it using a box grater or a food processor.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion, using half a small onion should suffice.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and sliced red onion.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the low-fat Greek yogurt to the vinegar mixture and whisk again until smooth, creating a creamy, tangy dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables in the large bowl.
Toss everything together gently until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Toss once more before serving to ensure the dressing is well distributed.
Serve the coleslaw chilled as a side dish to your favorite meals.
