Description

This Healthy Coleslaw recipe is a refreshing and nutritious twist on a classic favorite. Made with Greek yogurt and fresh herbs, it’s light, tangy, and perfect for picnics or as a side dish.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Dressing:

  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt (2% fat and higher)
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, to taste

Coleslaw:

  • 1 pound bag coleslaw (about 6 cups)
  • 1/4 cup dill or parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, make the dressing: Combine Greek yogurt, mayo, salt, and pepper. Whisk together.
  2. Add coleslaw and herbs: Toss the coleslaw and dill/parsley into the dressing. Mix gently until well combined.
  3. Chill: Refrigerate the coleslaw for 5-30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  4. Serve: Enjoy cold as a salad or as a topping for healthy pulled pork.

Notes

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • To make ahead, combine all ingredients without mixing. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, then mix before serving.
  • For an older no-mayo version, substitute the dressing with whole plain yogurt, vinegar, lemon juice, maple syrup, and salt.
