ColeSlaw (Basic, Customizable Cabbage Slaw)

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 head cabbage (shredded) or about 3 cups
  • 1/2 cup vinegar or shrub
  • 1 – 2 tbsp sugar (omit if using a shrub)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup nonfat, plain greek yogurt (or more mayo if you prefer)
  • 1 – 2 tsp black pepper
Mix-Ins
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, peanuts, almonds, cashews)
  • 1/2 cup dried fruit
  • 1 cup sliced fresh fruit if available
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta

The basics of this recipe are simple but satisfying and I get creative by using different types of vinegar and mix-ins!

The base is 3 cups of shredded cabbage but if you have other fresh vegetables available, I like to incorporate those as well including sliced bell peppers, shredded carrots, shredded broccoli stems, and sliced radishes.

For vinegars, I’ve used red wine, white wine, apple cider, and raspberry vinegar as well as homemade shrubs from nectarines. When you use a shrub, it’ll already have sugar so no need to add the sugar.

  1. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the vinegar and sugar. Add in the mayonnaise, yogurt and black pepper
  2. Combine your shredded cabbage with any other fresh “slaw” vegetables you have available to use.
  3. Toss in the dressing and mix well
  4. Refrigerate for about an hour and then just before serving, toss in all your mix-ins and serve!

Make it a meal by tossing in cooked chicken breast.
