Ingredients

  • 3/4 C 170g Fat-Free Greek Yogurt, plain
  • 2 Tbsp 30mL Apple Cider Vinegar, any vinegar will do
  • 1 Tbsp 15g Minced Garlic
  • 1 tsp 5mL Lime Juice
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1/2-1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1/4 C Stevia or 0-Cal Sweetener
  • 8 oz Bagged Coleslaw or Broccoli Slaw for a drier slaw, use 12-16 ounces here

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients besides coleslaw in a large mixing bowl until all spices are evenly mixed and no lumps remain.
  • Add coleslaw and toss until fully coated. (The recipe calls for 8 ounces, and this produces a "wet" coleslaw. If you like your slaw a bit drier, you can simply add more coleslaw mix.)
  • Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes. I've found this to taste best after refrigerating for several hours. This coleslaw should store for at least 3 days in the refrigerator but possibly longer.
