Ingredients

• 6 cups (finely chopped) Green cabbage
• 1 cup (shredded or finely chopped) Carrots
• 0.25 cup (finely minced) White onion
• 0.5 cup Fat-free plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat mayo or light mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Vinegar (white or apple cider)
• 2.5 tablespoons Granulated sugar or sugar substitute
• 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the green cabbage and shred or finely chop the carrots. A food processor may help achieve the small and uniform texture that resembles KFC coleslaw.

Step 2

Mince the white onion to a fine consistency, then combine it with the cabbage and carrots in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the fat-free plain Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar or sugar substitute, lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and stir until the vegetables are fully coated.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Before serving, give the coleslaw a good stir and adjust seasoning to taste, if needed.
