Coleslaw with Yogurt Dressing
A light and healthy coleslaw recipe with Greek yogurt dressing. It is so good that you won't miss mayo. It tastes even better when made ahead.
INGREDIENTS
Coleslaw Base:
- 2 cups red cabbage thinly sliced
- 2 cups white cabbage thinly sliced
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 2 celery ribs diced
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, optional
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
Coleslaw:
- Put sliced cabbages, grated carrots and diced celery in a large bowl.
- Coleslaw dressing:
- Whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, salt and pepper.
- Assemble:
- Pour the dressing over the coleslaw base and give it a good toss.
- Optionally, garnish with diced celery and serve immediately.
NOTES
- You can increase the amount of the yogurt if you want your coleslaw creamier.
- You can substitute green onions for celery or use them both.
- You can adjust the amount of lemon juice to your taste. Increase it if you like your coleslaw tangy.
- Maple syrup gives a subtle sweetness to the coleslaw. If you like yours sweeter, use 2 tablespoons.
- You can substitute honey for maple syrup. But you had better warm it up a bit in a saucepan or in the microwave so it is easier to mix with yogurt.
