I love coleslaw. I love coleslaw so much; I have made a game
of it every time that I eat out. Whenever I go to a restaurant, I will rate my
meal based on how this insignificant side dish is offered to my trained taste
buds. Is it spicy? Is it tangy? Are the pieces tiny and shaped like confetti or
maybe like mini veggie straws? I should
have achieved some kind of achievement by now for how often I will try and get
it on my plate. I think coleslaw ninja would be an acceptable title. Despite my
love for this side dish, I have never actually made it myself.
While making dinner for my grandfather the other day, I
figured it would be a great chance to give it a shot. I have been on a huge
Greek yogurt kick lately, the far superior replacement for mayonnaise in my
opinion, so this was going to be a great opportunity to not only
feed my slaw cravings but to also prove to myself how awesome this funny white
tasting goop really is. In my zealous attempt to make my first batch of
coleslaw, I somehow created the best tasting side dish that has ever pasted my
lips. I usually try and be pretty tough on myself whenever I make something, be
it food, pottery, or otherwise, but I would be damned if I don’t give credit
where credit is due! So here it is, the first and last coleslaw recipe that I
will ever make.
Coleslaw Crack
1 medium carrot, shredded
¼ of a red onion, shredded
¼ cabbage, shredded
3 Tbsp plain Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp Apple cider vinegar
½ tsp celery seeds
½ tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
Directions:
1) The first thing you’re going to want to do is shred up
your cabbage, carrot and red onion, if you haven’t done that yet.
2) Once all shredded up, you will to want to lightly mix/toss
those veggies in a medium bowl.
3) In a separate bowl, you are going to mix the rest of the
ingredients. Make sure there aren’t any clumps and everything has a smooth
consistency.
4) Now take the sauce that you have just made and pour it
over the cabbage mix. Thoroughly mix your master piece together so that
everything is coated evenly with the dressing.
5) Now are going to want to enjoy your delectable side dish!
Once you are convinced that this is the recipe for you, you are going to want
to share this blog post with all of your friends and family so they can all
enjoy it too! ;-) Sharing is caring!
I loved this recipe, and I really hope you do to. I would
really hate myself if I took all this time to puff up this recipe to just have
you make something that you hated. So I will be holding my breath while you try
it for yourself and see what you think! Please like comment and share, and
thank you for reading!
Till next time,

I just ate coleslaw last night. Delicious! I think it's one of the more healthy options for a side out there. Much better than fries. I'm not a big fan of the kind made with a ton of dill though. Happy eating coleslaw ninja.

I would have to agree! Especially if you swap out the mayo, its practically fat free. :-)
DeleteI too love coleslaw. Copied your recipe and will try it out over the weekend. Loved the post. Stopping in from A-Z.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Thanks for the recipe. I've got a pirated version of the KFC coleslaw recipe, which I love, but it is totally swimming in mayo. gail
