  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 6 cups shredded cabbage
  • 2 cups matchstick carrots
  • 1/2 small white onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1.5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 3 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine Vegetables: In a large bowl, place the shredded cabbage, matchstick carrots, thinly sliced onion, and finely chopped fresh parsley. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Set this vegetable mixture aside while you prepare the dressing.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a mason jar or bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, white vinegar, granulated sugar, sea salt, and black pepper. Secure the lid tightly if using a jar, and shake vigorously until the dressing is smooth and all ingredients are well mixed.
  3. Dress the Coleslaw: Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetable mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure the cabbage and other vegetables are evenly coated with the creamy dressing. The coleslaw is now ready to serve immediately or can be chilled for enhanced flavor.

Notes

  • For a sweeter coleslaw, you can increase the sugar amount slightly or add a bit of honey.
  • Chilling the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld for a more delicious taste.
  • Use fresh, crisp vegetables for the best texture and flavor in your coleslaw.
  • Substitute mayonnaise with a vegan mayo if desired to make it dairy-free.
  • If you prefer a tangier flavor, add a little more lemon juice or vinegar.
