Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 1 cup (shredded) Carrots
- 1 cup (shredded) Red cabbage
- 0.5 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Light mayonnaise
- 1.5 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Celery seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables: Finely shred the green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots using a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor. Combine them in a large mixing bowl.
Make the dressing: In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Combine the slaw: Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture in the large bowl.
Toss everything together using tongs or a wooden spoon until all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cole slaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is optional but recommended.
Before serving, give the cole slaw a quick toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a healthy side dish or topping.
