Healthy Coleslaw?

Hi MFP people,

I absolutely love coleslaw and have it with most salads
Only issue is the amount of heavy mayo thats in it

Does anyone know of any tasty healthy coleslaw recipies that they make?

Thanks in advance! :bigsmile:

Rachel Ray recipe is good. You can even substitute the sugar is you want. Of course I add peppers and other veggies.


Ingredients
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil, eyeball it
1 sack, 16 ounces, shredded cabbage mix for slaw salads
1 teaspoon salt
Salt and pepper
Directions
Mix vinegar and sugar. Add oil. Add cabbage to dressing and season with salt and pepper. Toss with fingers to combine. Adjust seasoning. Let stand 20 minutes. Re-toss and serve.

Coleslaw is one of my weaknesses too

Have you tried replacing the mayo with low fat mayo and low fat natural yogurt ?

1/2 large white cabbage
1 small onion
2 carrots
0.5 tbsp Dijon mustard
3 tbsp low-fat mayonnaise
5 tbsp low-fat natural yoghurt

You will get about 4-6 servings out of this (depending on how much you have of course )

T. Marzetti's light coleslaw dressing isn't bad, and I *think* eatingwell.com has a recipe that uses an olive oil based dressing (and if it wasn't eatingwell where I saw it, I'm sure they have a good one anyway!).

I definately prefer going with low fat mayo mixed with 0% fat greek yoghurt mix for the dressing. A bit of dijon mustard or chopped dill in the mixture makes it extra tasty too.

Add a TBSP of honey mustardfwith the oil and vinegar for a little more flavor. makes the dressing creamier.

Pepper Cabbage!

This particular recipe is Emeril Lagasse's, but you can Google to fine one that suits you if this one doesn't sound good:

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups finely chopped green cabbage
1 1/4 cups finely chopped green bell peppers
1 1/4 cups finely chopped red bell peppers
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon mustard seed
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions


In a large non-reactive bowl, combine the cabbage, peppers, and onions.

In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, honey, celery seed, mustard seed, and red pepper flakes, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Season with the salt and black pepper.

Let cool, then cover and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, for at least 12 hours and up to 2 days.
