Anyone have a good low cal cole slaw recipe? Thanks!

I found one in a magazine that I like. Unfortunately I don't know the exact amounts of the ingredients off hand but the dressing contains

- apples
- low cal mayo
- maple syrup or honey
-onion
- nuts (I use pecans or walnuts)
And I like to add dried cranberries or raisins and cucumber as well.

I just made this on Sunday.

1 bag of Dole tri-colored coleslaw mix
1/2 cup miracle whip
2 tbsp vinegar
2 tsp sugar
salt and pepper to taste

In a separate bowl, mix the miracle whip, vinegar and sugar. Pour over the coleslaw and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste. I would recommend letting it sit in the fridge for at least a couple of hours. If you make it, I hope you enjoy!

Each 1 1/2 cup serving is about 58 calories.

I made one that my husband asks for repeats:

1cup lite mayo
1 tsp salt
4Tbsp splenda
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp celery seed
2 tbspp cidar vinegar
1/2 cup water (or more if you need to thin the dressing)

Mix the dressing and use 1/4 cup for each : 3 cups shredded cabbage.
I add either 1 chopped apple or grapes to the salad.

I keep the dressing on hand to mix a batch quickly and it should set in the dressing for a couple of hours if possible. The calories/fat vary depending on what type of mayo you use but with apples and "lite" mayo it averages about 97 calories and 5 grams of fat for a full cup.

I used to substitute lowfat plain yogurt for the mayo. i have served it at several BBQ's and no one knew the difference!

I use the Jimmy's No-Fat Cole Slaw Dressing. I like to mix up a single serving at least once a day for a snack or as a side to a meal.
