Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 9 cups cabbage, thinly shredded Use a crisp green cabbage for the best crunch.
  • 14 oz broccoli slaw mix Adds great texture and nutrients.
  • 1/2 cup carrots, shredded Use fresh for the best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup scallions, sliced For a nice oniony kick.
  • 1 piece apple, cored and cut into 1/4-inch matchsticks Use a sweet crunchy variety like Gala or Fuji.
Dressing
  • 1.25 cups yogurt Choose plain Greek yogurt for its creaminess.
  • 0.75 cup mayonnaise I recommend a light mayo for a healthier option.
  • 2 tbsp vinegar Apple cider vinegar adds a nice tang.
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice Freshly squeezed is best.
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced For depth of flavor.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pinch of white pepper Optional, for extra flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, broccoli slaw mix, carrots, and scallions. Gently toss everything together to distribute the vegetables evenly and set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and white pepper until smooth and well combined.
  3. Just before serving, core the apple and cut it into thin 1/4 inch matchsticks.
  4. Add the fresh apple and the dressing to the vegetable mixture. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  5. Serve immediately.

Notes

This coleslaw is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Avoid adding the dressing too early to prevent sogginess.
