Ingredients

• 4 cups shaved Green cabbage
• 1 large, grated Carrot
• 0.5 medium, thinly sliced Red onion
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Celery seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing your vegetables. For the cabbage, remove and discard any wilted outer leaves. Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the core from each piece. Using a knife or a mandolin, finely shave the cabbage to get about 4 cups.

Step 2

Peel the carrot and grate it using a box grater or food processor.

Step 3

Thinly slice half of a medium red onion and set it aside with the cabbage and carrot.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared cabbage, grated carrot, and sliced red onion. Toss to mix evenly.

Step 5

In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by combining the plain Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, celery seeds, and black pepper. Whisk well until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Use tongs or salad forks to thoroughly toss the vegetables with the dressing, ensuring that all of the cabbage is coated evenly.

Step 7

Cover the coleslaw with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. You can refrigerate it for up to 2 hours if you have the time, as this will further enhance the taste.

Step 8

Before serving, give the coleslaw one final toss. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish.
