LOW FAT COLE SLAW
This is a recipe I've been making for some time and am just now getting around to posting. It is from The Best Kept Secrets of Healthy Cooking by Sandra Woodruff, RD. It is so nice to be able to enjoy crunchy healthy coleslaw without worrying about all the mayo in it! I sometimes sub a bit of plain fat free yogurt for some portion of the mayo; it all really depends on your tastes. According to the book each serving is 2/3 c. Cook time does not include chill time.

LOWER-FAT COLESLAW

- Add the remaining ingredients and toss to combine.
- Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
- Yields about 1 cup per serving.
- 1 Weight Watcher point per serving.
Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage. Use a firm, crisp cabbage, such as green cabbage or red cabbage. Avoid using savoy cabbage, as it is too soft and will not hold up well in coleslaw.
- Shred the cabbage finely. This will help the dressing to coat the cabbage evenly and make the coleslaw more flavorful.
- Use a variety of vegetables. In addition to cabbage, you can also add other vegetables to your coleslaw, such as carrots, celery, bell peppers, and radishes. This will add color, flavor, and texture to the dish.
- Make your own dressing. Store-bought dressings are often high in fat and sugar. By making your own dressing, you can control the ingredients and make it healthier.
- Chill the coleslaw before serving. This will help the flavors to blend and make the coleslaw more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Lower-fat coleslaw is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. It is also low in calories and fat. With so many variations to choose from, there is sure to be a lower-fat coleslaw recipe that everyone will enjoy.
