Instructions
First, thinly slice half of a head of red cabbage. Place the sliced cabbage into a large mixing bowl.

Dice the medium red bell pepper and add it to the salad ingredients in the bowl.
In a separate small bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth to create the low-fat dressing.
