Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

Healthy Coleslaw:

  • 4 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
  • 1 cup thinly sliced red cabbage
  • 1 1/2 cups grated carrot
  • 5 green onions chopped
  • 1/3 cup roasted sunflower seeds

Creamy Mayo-Free Dressing:

Instructions

  • Mix together the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl until well-combined. If you own a small blender like a Magic Bullet or a small food processor, feel free to use it!
  • Thinly slice the cabbage using a sharp knife and grate the carrots using a box grater. Add the sliced green cabbage, red cabbage, grated carrot, green onions and sunflower seeds to a large mixing bowl.
  • Pour the dressing over the vegetables and stir well until everything is combined and the cabbage is well-coated in dressing.
  • Serve this healthy coleslaw immediately with you main dish, or store it in an airtight container for later. Coleslaw will stay nice and crisp for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Notes

*Greek yogurt can be replaced with coconut cream for a dairy-free option. Coconut cream is the thick white fat that you see when you open a can of coconut milk. You want just this thick cream, rather than coconut milk. You can also buy canned coconut cream online or from select grocery stores.
