Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 1 cup (grated) Carrots
- 1 cup (shredded) Red cabbage
- 0.5 cups Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Shred 4 cups of green cabbage using a sharp knife, food processor, or mandoline slicer. Then, grate 1 cup of carrots and shred 1 cup of red cabbage. Combine these into a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together 0.5 cups of low-fat Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables in the large mixing bowl.
Using a pair of tongs or a large spoon, toss the mixture until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed by adding more salt, pepper, or a splash of vinegar for extra tanginess.
Refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve cold as a side dish or use as a topping.
