Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 cup carrots, grated
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the vegetables: finely shred about 4 cups of green cabbage, removing the tough core. Grate 1 cup of carrots and thinly slice 1/4 cup of red onion.
- Make the dressing: whisk together 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper until creamy but pourable.
- Toss it all together: add the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and sliced onion to a large bowl. Pour the dressing over and gently toss to coat evenly without bruising the cabbage.
- Final touch: stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley if using.
- Chill and rest: refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and soften the cabbage slightly.
Notes
Use full-fat Greek yogurt for best creaminess. Chill coleslaw at least 30 minutes before serving. Add parsley just before serving to keep it fresh. If dressing thickens after chilling, stir in a teaspoon of water or vinegar to loosen. Pat vegetables dry if wet to avoid watery dressing.
