LOW FAT COLE SLAW



Low Fat Cole Slaw image

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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your coleslaw more flavor and texture. Some good options include shredded cabbage, carrots, celery, and red onion.
  • Shred your vegetables thinly. This will help them absorb the dressing better and make the coleslaw more tender.
  • Make your own dressing. This is the best way to control the flavor of your coleslaw. There are many different recipes available online, so you can find one that suits your taste.
  • Let your coleslaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the cabbage to soften.
  • Serve your coleslaw as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches, tacos, or burgers.

Conclusion:
