Ingredients

• 4 cups Green cabbage
• 1 medium Red onion
• 1 cup Plain low-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage and rinse under cold water. Finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Measure out 4 cups of shredded cabbage and transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel the red onion, slice it thinly into half-moons, and separate the layers. Add the sliced onion to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the cabbage and onion mixture. Use tongs or a large spoon to gently toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.

Step 5

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding a pinch more salt or pepper.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container. Let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Before serving, give the salad another quick toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve cold as a side dish or a light main course.
