NEW CLASSIC COLE SLAW

-

Active: 15 minutes | Total: 15 minutes, plus 30 mins to 8 hours chilling time 6 to 8 servings This slaw has all the familiar flavors of a classic cole slaw — cool, crisp cabbage, sweet shreds of carrot and a kick of sliced red onion in a lusciously creamy dressing. But this version is much more healthful, because rather than the typical heaps of mayonnaise, it has just a touch, and it gets much of its creaminess from Greek yogurt.

Make Ahead: The slaw needs to sit, refrigerat­ed, for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight before serving.

Storage Notes: The slaw can be refrigerat­ed in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

½ cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt

¼ cup mayonnaise

3 tablespoon­s apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

8 cups very thinly sliced green cabbage (from 1 medium cabbage)

½ cup coarsely grated carrot (1 medium carrot)

¼ cup thinly sliced red onion

In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Add the cabbage, carrot, onion and toss well to combine. Cover and refrigerat­e for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight, so the cabbage softens a bit. Toss well before serving.
