Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups kale leaves
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 cup red cabbage
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the kale leaves. Remove the tough stems and finely chop the leaves. Place in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrot and grate it using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrot to the kale.
Thinly slice the red cabbage and red bell pepper, then add them to the bowl with the kale and carrot.
Chop the green onions and cilantro, and add them to the bowl.
In a small separate bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, low-fat Greek yogurt, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the kale mixture, and toss all ingredients together until the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and let the slaw sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the slaw a good toss again to ensure the dressing is evenly distributed.
Serve as a refreshing and crunchy side to your favorite main dishes. Enjoy!
