A fresh, high-protein coleslaw made with Greek yogurt and apple cider vinegar, perfect for meal prep and a healthy side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, peeled and shredded
  • ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Shred about 4 cups of green cabbage and 1 cup of peeled carrots using a box grater or food processor. Thinly slice ¼ cup of red onion and chop 2 tablespoons fresh parsley.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together ¾ cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste until creamy and pourable.
  3. Combine and Toss: Pour the dressing over the shredded veggies in a large mixing bowl. Toss thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  4. Rest the Slaw: Let the coleslaw sit for at least 10 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the fridge to let flavors meld and cabbage soften slightly.
  5. Final Touch: Before serving, toss again and sprinkle with extra chopped parsley. Adjust salt and pepper if needed.

Notes

If the slaw is watery after resting, drain excess liquid before serving. For thicker texture, use less vinegar or add more Greek yogurt. Use full-fat Greek yogurt for best creaminess. Can substitute coconut or almond yogurt and maple syrup for a dairy-free and vegan version. Add extra veggies or nuts for crunch and flavor variations.
