Crunchy, creamy goodness in every bite!
There’s something simply irresistible about a refreshing, creamy coleslaw. This crunchy crowd-favorite never fails to get the party started, and it’s usually the first dish to disappear. Among the countless ways to whip up a yummy coleslaw, we’ve thrown this savory Apple and Red Cabbage Slaw to the top of our list. You won’t believe the power of adding a juicy apple to this dish. It adds incredibly luscious flavor and a hint of sweetness that perfectly complements its counterparts.
Why Our Version Stands Out
We pride ourselves on hooking you up with clean-eating recipes that put a skinny spin on your favorite dishes. Most coleslaw recipes call for heavy, high-fat ingredients that can break the calorie bank. We’ve ditched the waist-expanding members of your typical slaw like mayonnaise and sugar and subbed in cleaner alternatives. Greek yogurt delivers an irresistibly rich consistency, and it clocks in at a fraction of the calories of mayonnaise. Meanwhile, honey takes the place of white sugar, offering a handful of health benefits instead of empty calories.
Your Waistline Will Thank You!
This cleaned-up recipe boasts an impressive nutritional profile. It contains only 105 calories a serving, and our apple and red cabbage slaw will satisfy all your cravings without sabotaging the scale. The tangy side dish also delivers 4 grams of fiber per serving, meaning it’ll fill you up and curb cravings. Awesome!
How to Make Apple and Red Cabbage Slaw
This recipe is a cinch to create, but it calls for a great deal of slicing and shredding, so get your prep hands ready! Start by slicing and shredding the apple, cabbage, carrot, and red onion. Then, toss the veggies together with lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, Greek yogurt, and honey. Allow the mouthwatering mixture to sit for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the flavors to merge together and become even more powerful.
A Guaranteed Hit
Don’t be surprised if your guests keep coming back for seconds, thirds, and maybe even fourths. We have all the confidence in the world that this savory slaw will hit big at the dinner table or your next gathering. So what are you waiting for? Shake things up at your next barbecue with this apple and red cabbage slaw!
