This Creamy Cabbage and Carrot Slaw is a delightful twist on your traditional coleslaw. It's a vibrant, refreshing side dish that brings a pop of color and a wealth of nutrients to any meal. The slight bitterness of the cabbage, the sweet crunch of the carrots, and the tang of the unique Greek yogurt-based dressing harmonize into a symphony of flavors and textures.

Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Dijon mustard (1 tablespoon)
  • Honey (1 tablespoon)
  • Apple cider vinegar (2 tablespoons)
  • Greek yogurt (1/2 cup)
  • Mayonnaise (1/2 cup)
  • Fresh parsley (1/4 cup, finely chopped)
  • Red onion (1/2, thinly sliced)
  • Carrots (2, large, peeled and grated)
  • Green cabbage (1/2 head, finely shredded)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely shredded cabbage, grated carrots, thinly sliced red onion, and finely chopped parsley.
  2. In a separate smaller bowl, prepare the dressing. Whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and well-blended.
  3. Gradually pour the creamy dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything together until all the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
  4. Cover the slaw and allow it to refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in a more robust taste.
  5. Before serving, give the slaw another quick toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve it chilled and enjoy this refreshing side dish!
