Ingredients

• 4 cups, finely shredded Green cabbage
• 2 cups, finely shredded Red cabbage
• 1 cup, grated Carrots
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise (sugar-free or low-carb)
• 0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon, or to taste Stevia or other sugar-free sweetener
• 1 teaspoon Celery seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and grated carrots.

Step 2

Sprinkle the salt over the vegetable mixture. Toss well and let sit for 10 minutes to allow the cabbage to release some of its moisture.

Step 3

In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, stevia, celery seeds, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

After the vegetables have rested, gently squeeze out any excess liquid from the cabbage mixture using clean hands or a paper towel.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or stevia as needed.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.

Step 8

Serve chilled. This coleslaw pairs perfectly with grilled meats or as a light side dish for any meal.
