Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini
- 2 medium carrot
- 2 cups (shredded) red cabbage
- 2 stalks green onion
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1.5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Wash and trim the ends of the zucchini and carrots. Using a julienne slicer, mandoline, or a knife, slice the zucchini and carrots into thin strips.
Shred the red cabbage finely using a sharp knife or a food processor.
Thinly slice the green onions, including both the white and green parts, and add them to the vegetable mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl and allow the cole slaw to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Taste the cole slaw and adjust seasoning with additional salt or vinegar if desired before serving.
Serve chilled as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches and tacos.
