A tangy low-calorie home-made coleslaw that only has 140 calories per portion, making it ideal for weight watcher and those on the 5:2 diet, as well as a healthier option for the school lunch box.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons low-fat yoghurt (I use Greek style yoghurt)
- 1/2 teaspoon French mustard (such as Dijon)
- 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise (such as Hellmans)
- 1/2 cabbage (white and light green cabbage, not savoy or spring cabbage)
- 3 carrots
- 1 small onion
- salt and pepper
Note
A tangy low-calorie home-made coleslaw that only has 140 calories per portion, making it ideal for weight watcher and those on the 5:2 diet, as well as a healthier option for the school lunch box. Excellent with salads, cold meats, pies, tarts, cooked chicken and also with baked potatoes and in sandwiches.
Directions
Step 1 | Mix the yoghurt, mustard and mayonnaise together in a bowl and then season to taste with salt and pepper. Then, using a grater attachment on a food processor, (I used my Morphy Richards Food Slicer with the grater attachment) grate the cabbage and carrots. |
Step 2 | Peel and chop the onion as finely as you can. |
Step 3 | Put all of the vegetables into the bowl and stir through the dressing to coat, adjust seasoning. (Will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days) |
Step 4 | Use with salads, in sandwiches, in baked potatoes or as an accompaniment to tarts, pies and cooked chicken. |
