Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 1 large (grated) Carrot
- 1 small (julienned) Red bell pepper
- 0.33 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 1.5 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, grated carrot, and julienned red bell pepper. Toss gently to ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all the ingredients evenly in the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the cole slaw to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step can be skipped if you're in a hurry, but resting the cole slaw enhances the flavor.
Before packing into lunchboxes, give the cole slaw a final toss. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
