Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 large crisp apple (like Honeycrisp or Fuji), cored and diced
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Place the shredded green and red cabbage in a large bowl. Add the diced apple and dried cranberries. If using, toss in the chopped nuts.
  2. Make the dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Combine: Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything gently until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  4. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to blend and the cabbage to soften slightly.
  5. Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving as a side dish for your next meal or gathering. This slaw pairs well with grilled meats or as part of your meal planning for gatherings.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, substitute all the mayonnaise with additional Greek yogurt.
  • If you prefer a sweeter slaw, increase the honey in the dressing by one teaspoon.
  • This slaw tastes best when made a few hours ahead, but do not let it sit longer than 24 hours, as the apples may brown.
  • Consider this recipe when planning your next event; it is a great alternative to heavier sides often served with BBQ.
