- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Celery seed
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Finely shred the green cabbage until you have 4 cups. You can use a food processor for a finer texture or a sharp knife for a chunkier texture.
Step 2
Peel and grate the carrot. Set aside.
Step 3
Finely chop the red onion to make 1/4 cup.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped red onion. Toss them together until they are well mixed.
Step 5
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to combine, ensuring all the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
Step 7
Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld. For best results, let it chill for 2 hours.
Step 8
Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick toss and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve chilled.
