Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 12 - 14 oz. coleslaw *
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise *
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic 3 - 4 cloves minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- salt and pepper to taste*
Instructions
- Add the Greek yogurt, mayo, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, coriander, and cumin to a food processor, blender, or mixing bowl. Blend or whisk to combine the ingredients until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
- Place the coleslaw mix into a large bowl. Pour the dressing over it and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. (see notes)
- Serve immediately or cover and chill for 1 hour prior to serving to allow the flavors to meld, then give it a good stir prior to serving.
Notes
- To make the coleslaw dressing, you can use a food processor, blender, or whisk by hand to combine the ingredients. I like to use a food processor since it really blends the ingredients together and makes a smoother dressing.
- I used a bag of store-bought coleslaw mix that was a blend of shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots. They usually have 12 and 14-ounce bags available. Both sizes work with this recipe. If you would like to make your own cabbage slaw mix, feel free!
- I used light mayo to cut out some calories. You can also use regular mayonnaise or avocado oil mayo.
- I used 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground pepper, but you can season it to your liking.
- You can easily double this recipe to serve more.
- You can also toss in some Chili Lime Pepitas for added protein, flavor and crunch!
