Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 1.5 cups (shredded) Carrots
- 0.5 cup (thinly sliced) Red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup (sliced) Green onions
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, finely shred the green cabbage and red cabbage. Place both in a large mixing bowl.
Shred the carrots and add them to the bowl, along with the thinly sliced red bell pepper, chopped parsley, and sliced green onions.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss everything together thoroughly, ensuring all the veggies are evenly coated in the dressing.
Cover the bowl and let the slaw chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and enhances the crunchiness of the slaw.
Before serving, give the slaw one more toss, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve cold and enjoy a guilt-free second helping!
