Ingredients

For the Salad

  • 2 cups green cabbage finely shredded
  • 1 cup carrots shredded or grated
  • 1 cup apple cored and thinly sliced (preferably Granny Smith for tartness)
  • 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced

For the Dressing

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt for creaminess
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar for tanginess
  • 1 tablespoon honey to balance the acidity
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard for flavor depth
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely shredded green cabbage and shredded carrots. This forms the base of your coleslaw, providing crunch and texture.
  • Add the thinly sliced apple and red onion to the bowl. The apple adds sweetness and a refreshing flavor, while the onion gives a slight bite.

Make the Dressing

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth. This dressing will coat the vegetables and add creaminess.
  • Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more honey for sweetness or more vinegar for tanginess.

Combine and Serve

  • Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture in the large bowl. Use a serving spoon to gently toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
  • Let the coleslaw sit for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish to your favorite meal.

Notes

This coleslaw can be made a few hours in advance. Just keep it covered in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. For added crunch, consider including nuts like walnuts or pecans.
