Ingredients

• 4 cups green cabbage
• 2 cups purple cabbage
• 1 cup carrots
• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 clove garlic
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the green cabbage and purple cabbage into shreds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Add to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor, and add them to the bowl with the cabbages.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Greek yogurt, and honey until the dressing is smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Peel and finely mince the garlic clove. Add it to the dressing along with the sea salt and black pepper. Stir to combine well.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the shredded cabbage and carrots, and toss thoroughly to coat all the vegetables evenly.

Step 6

Finely chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the coleslaw. Gently fold it into the mixture.

Step 7

Let the coleslaw sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour for an even tastier result.

Step 8

Serve chilled as a side dish to complement grilled fish, chicken, or plant-based Mediterranean entrees.
