Ingredients

• 4 cups green cabbage
• 1 large carrot
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 0.5 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon celery seed
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the vegetables. Finely shred the green cabbage until you have about 4 cups and place it in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel and grate the large carrot and add it to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Thinly slice half of a medium red onion and add to the vegetable mixture in the bowl. Toss the vegetables together to combine evenly.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients: non-fat plain Greek yogurt, low-fat mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 6

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

Step 7

Before serving, stir the coleslaw once more. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or enjoy as a crunchy topping for sandwiches or burgers.
