Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups green cabbage
- 1 large carrot
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon celery seed
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Finely shred the green cabbage until you have about 4 cups and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the large carrot and add it to the bowl with the cabbage.
Thinly slice half of a medium red onion and add to the vegetable mixture in the bowl. Toss the vegetables together to combine evenly.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients: non-fat plain Greek yogurt, low-fat mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Before serving, stir the coleslaw once more. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or enjoy as a crunchy topping for sandwiches or burgers.
