YOGURT COLESLAW DRESSING



Yogurt Coleslaw Dressing image

This is really one of those half-made, home-made kind of recipes. I find that the bottled coleslaw dressing is usually a bit overpowering, and don't always want a mayo based dressing. You start with bottled dressing for this, and it ends up being nice & light tasting. The cooking time is actually the chilling time for the dressed coleslaw.

Time 32m

Yield 3/4 cup, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (fat free works great)
1/4 cup coleslaw dressing (any brand is fine)
1 teaspoon sugar (the sugar cuts the tartness of the vinegar)

1/2 teaspoon celery seed (or to taste, I don't usually measure this)

Steps:

  • Whisk all ingredients together.
  • Pour over coleslaw & mix well.
