About this Recipe

Tired of heavy, mayo-laden coleslaw that overshadows your main dish? This Greek Yogurt Coleslaw offers a delightful solution, delivering all the creamy satisfaction you crave without the richness, ready in just 5 minutes of prep time.

This recipe shines because it perfectly balances tang and sweetness, all while keeping things light. By swapping traditional mayonnaise for non-fat plain Greek yogurt, you achieve a wonderfully creamy texture that’s still vibrant and fresh. The unique blend of lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and warmed honey creates a dressing that’s both invigorating and subtly sweet, making every bite a pleasure.

Expect a refreshing side dish that’s both wonderfully creamy and satisfyingly crisp. The shredded cabbage and carrots provide a pleasing crunch, beautifully coated in the smooth, tangy yogurt dressing. Hints of bright lemon, sharp apple cider vinegar, and a touch of sweetness from honey dance on your palate, with a savory depth from celery salt and optional Dijon mustard. This lighter approach to coleslaw is quick to prepare, perfect for any casual meal.

Customization & Variations

Tailor this coleslaw to your taste! The Dijon mustard is optional; omit it for a milder flavor or include it for a slight piquant kick. Feel free to adjust the amounts of warmed honey for more sweetness, or increase the lemon juice and apple cider vinegar for extra tang. For a richer, more indulgent dressing, you can swap the non-fat Greek yogurt for a full-fat variety.

Serve this quick and easy Greek Yogurt Coleslaw as a bright, creamy side dish at your next backyard barbecue, picnic, or weeknight dinner. It pairs beautifully with grilled chicken, pulled pork, or your favorite sandwiches, adding a fresh, tangy counterpoint to richer flavors.
