Ingredients

The Slaw:

3 cups shredded green cabbage
2 cups shredded red cabbage
2 carrots, shredded
½ cup thinly sliced red onion
½ teaspoon celery seed

The Yogurt Dressing:

½ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon mayonnaise, (adds flavor, but you can leave it off)
½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
1½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons honey, OR maple syrup or cane sugar
½ teaspoon Salt, or to taste

Instructions

Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Combine the coleslaw: Add the green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, red onion, and celery seed to a large mixing bowl.
Toss: Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Chill: For the best flavor, refrigerate for at least 20–30 minutes before serving. Toss again, taste, and add more salt if needed.

Notes

Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The slaw softens and releases liquid as it sits, so pour off any water at the bottom and toss again before serving.

Make ahead: Store the dressing and the shredded vegetables separately, then toss together 30 minutes before serving. The dressing keeps up to 5 days, the shredded vegetables up to 3.

Freezing: Not recommended. Cabbage turns mushy when thawed and the yogurt dressing separates.

Without mayo: Leave it out and add an extra tablespoon of Greek yogurt. The slaw still works, it just tastes a little more tangy and a little less like classic deli slaw.

Bagged coleslaw mix: Swap the cabbage and carrots for a 14 to 16 ounce bag if you want to skip the shredding.

Taste after chilling: Cold dulls flavor. What tasted balanced when you mixed it will usually need a little more salt or a splash of vinegar after 30 minutes in the fridge.
