Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green Cabbage shredded
- 1 ½ cup Red Cabbage shredded
- 1 cup Carrots shredded
- 2 Green Onions sliced
- ½ cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
- ½ tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- 1 ½ tablespoons White Vinegar or Champagne Vinegar
- Pepper to taste
- Stevia to taste or sweetener of choice
Instructions
- Add the green cabbage, red cabbage and carrots to a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, champagne vinegar, stevia and Dijon mustard. Stir well then pour over the veggies in the large mixing bowl. Add the green onions. Toss to combine and chill 20 minutes before serving.
Notes
Each serving makes about 1 1/2 cups.
- Mix the dressing in a separate bowl first and taste before adding to the vegetables. Adjust tang, sweetness, and seasoning before it hits the cabbage.
- Chill at least 20 minutes before serving. This is what takes the slaw from just mixed to actually delicious.
- Make it ahead without sogginess by storing the dressing and vegetables separately for up to 3 days. Combine when ready to serve.
- If it gets watery, drain the liquid and stir in an extra tablespoon of Greek yogurt to bring the dressing back together.
- Greek yogurt varies in tartness by brand. Too tangy? Add a little more stevia. Needs brightness? A squeeze more lemon juice does it.
