The unassumming cabbage packs quite a nutritional punch and is high in Vitamin K and C.

No-Mayonnaise Creamy Coleslaw

 

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

  1. Whisk the yogourt, mustard, vinegar, oil, sugar, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
  2. 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.
