Categories     Vegetable     Side     No-Cook

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 medium red cabbage
2 red bell peppers
2 yellow bell peppers
4 medium carrots
juice of 2 lemons
1/2 cup lowfat mayonnaise
4 teaspoons sugar (optional, use 2 packets of sugar substitute instead)

Steps:

  • Remove seeds and veins from peppers. Peel carrots. Finely shred all vegetables using a mandoline or food processor (Do not use a grater, as the shreds should be several inches long). Slowly add lemon juice and sugar to the mayonnaise and mix with a whisk till smooth. Thin with a little lowfat milk if necessary. Toss vegetables with dressing, and let sit in refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.

Tips:

  • For a creamier coleslaw, use mayonnaise instead of Greek yogurt.
  • Add some shredded carrots or red cabbage for a colorful twist.
  • If you like spicy food, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • For a tangy coleslaw, add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice.
  • If you're using a head of cabbage, remove the tough outer leaves before shredding.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage for a more delicate texture.
  • Rinse the cabbage with cold water after shredding to remove any excess starch.
  • Pat the cabbage dry with paper towels before adding it to the coleslaw to prevent it from getting watery.
  • Let the coleslaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
