COLESLAW
SERVES 8
I love this coleslaw recipe and it is considerably lighter and healthier than most since it uses less mayonnaise. You may use canola or reduced-fat mayonnaise and, as I usually do, substitute plain nonfat yogurt, or even reduced fat sour cream, for half of the amount. It adds a little tang while keeping the texture creamy.
INGREDIENTS
Salad
- 1 small head green cabbage, cleaned and cut in wedges
- 1 large carrot, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 large green pepper, cut into approximately 4 slices
- 1 small onion, quartered
Dressing
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 4 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon celery seed
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (see note above)
- 1 teaspoon prepared or Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Grate the salad ingredients with grater or processor blade. Combine in a large bowl.
Thoroughly blend dressing ingredients. Pour over the cabbage mixture. Stir well. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight, stirring occasionally to blend.
Note: The amounts of the dressing ingredients can easily be altered to taste.
