Coleslaw salad


I have something really easy for you today. It doesn't require cooking or baking, so it feels almost like a no-recipe (and it surely is a no-brainer). But it's full of vitamins and fibers, and it's certainly a perfect (and delicious) way to boost your health in winter.
I remember first discovering Coleslaw salad with my brother, in one of the fast food chains (of all places) a few years ago. It was probably the healthiest (and the least fat, mayo notwithstanding) option on the menu, and I was instantly taken with the rich and savory flavor. I never even thought of recreating the recipe at home, until I stumbled upon it in one of the cooking magazines. What a revelation! You can whip it up in just 15 minutes, and with a little bit of patience, you can savor it for dinner, with a few slices of fresh bread, or as a side dish with a steak or some sautéd chicken. An instant favorite! I think I will be making this very often, at least until the winter is finally gone!

Coleslaw

You'll need:

* 1 white cabbage
* 3 carrots
* 1 onion
* 250ml white yogurt
*200ml mayonnaise
* 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

1. Peel the cabbage and slice it into small pieces (you can use mandolin). 
2. Peel the carrots and shred them.
3. Peel the onion and cut it into small cubes.
4. In a large bowl, mix well yogurt, mayonnaise and Dijon mustard, add salt and pepper.
5. Add cabbage, carrots and onion and mix well, so they're all well coated in sauce. 
6. Let rest in the fridge 2 hours.

Bon appétit!

  7. I have made this in the past but lately I have been lazy and bought it but it's never as good as home-made. Thanks for the recipe - this version with yogurt is sure to be tasty.

  8. We often buy this type of salad here and I am sure there are too many preservatives in it, it would be so great to make it from scratch, fresh and healthier! Thanks for the recipe.

  15. Thanks for your comment today Ivana, I think if you liked The Holiday, you may like some of the other movies. The lines from The Vow are far better than the actual movie though. If you do watch any, please let me know what you though of them :)
