Directions

  1. Thoroughly wash 1 red cabbage, 1 green cabbage, 3 cups of shredded carrots, 2 apples, a small handful of chives, a small handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley, and 2 avocados (including the tough skin) under cool, running, drinkable water.

  2. Shred the cabbage, thinly slice the apples, chop the chives and fresh parsley, and dice the avocados.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of pasteurized plain whole milk Greek yogurt, ⅓ cup of extra-virgin olive oil, ⅓ cup of apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons of whole grain mustard, and 2 tablespoons of honey until smooth and evenly incorporated. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

  6. Enjoy immediately, or store in your fridge where it will keep nicely for several days. Eat up, Mama!

    So much better than normal coleslaw! Love using yogurt instead of mayo. Add avocado to individual servings instead of the whole batch if you’re not planning on eating all in one sitting so the leftovers don’t brown.

    I always sub yogurt in place of mayo (since I’m not a mayo fan) and I’m glad you like this substitution too! Great note on adding the avocado in individual portions, you could also squeeze lemon or lime juice onto the avocado to avoid oxidation (browning) — Kendra Aronson, Founder of Pregnant and Hungry
