The unassumming cabbage packs quite a nutritional punch and is high in Vitamin K and C.
You can't have a deli-style sandwich without coleslaw, but the traditional version is drowned in a fatty, overly sweet dressing. Our version uses yogourt enriched with olive oil (a good fat) instead of mayonnaise.
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Serves: 6
Ingredients
1/3 cup nonfat plain yogourt
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds or celery seeds
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 cups shredded green cabbage (1/2 medium)
1 cup grated carrots (2–4 medium)
Directions
- Whisk the yogourt, mustard, vinegar, oil, sugar, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
- Combine the cabbage and carrots in a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss to coat well. One serving is 3/4 cup. The coleslaw will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
