Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small head red cabbage
- 2 large carrot
- 1 medium green apple
- 3 stalks green onion
- 0.5 cup cilantro leaves
- 0.5 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon celery seed
Instructions
Remove the tough outer leaves of the red cabbage and cut it in half. Thinly slice the cabbage into shreds using a sharp knife or mandoline. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Core and slice the green apple into thin matchsticks, leaving the skin on for added color and nutrients. Add apple slices to the cabbage mixture.
Thinly slice the green onions, using both the white and green parts, and add them to the bowl.
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the mixture for a burst of freshness.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fat-free Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and celery seed until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to combine. Make sure the dressing evenly coats all the ingredients.
Let the slaw sit for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. It can be chilled in the refrigerator if desired.
Serve the slaw as a side dish or use it as a topping for sandwiches or tacos.
