Description
This Greek Yogurt Cabbage Slaw is a creamy, healthy, and vibrant side dish that combines thinly sliced red cabbage and grated carrots with a tangy yogurt-based dressing. Perfectly balanced with apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and a hint of honey, this slaw offers a refreshing crunch and delightful flavor with minimal prep time.
Ingredients
Vegetables
- 5 cups red cabbage (thinly sliced - about 15 ounces)
- 2 carrots (grated)
- 1 handful fresh parsley (chopped)
Dressing
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
- ¾ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Shred the Cabbage: Thinly slice 5 cups red cabbage using a knife, mandoline, or food processor until it’s finely shredded and crisp.
- Add the Veggies: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix well to distribute evenly.
- Make the Dressing: In a smaller bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Combine and Serve: Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss until everything is well coated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately for a crunchy texture or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to enhance the flavors. This slaw can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
Notes
- Use a mandoline or food processor to speed up the shredding process and ensure even slices.
- Maple syrup can be used instead of honey for a vegan-friendly option, though this recipe isn't fully vegan due to mayonnaise and yogurt.
- For a vegan adaptation, substitute Greek yogurt and mayonnaise with plant-based alternatives.
- Chilling the slaw for 30 minutes before serving helps meld flavors and soften the cabbage slightly.
- This slaw keeps well refrigerated for 3 to 4 days, making it a great make-ahead side dish.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
