A quick and easy creamy coleslaw using bagged coleslaw mix and a tangy Greek yogurt-based dressing, perfect for last-minute gatherings and busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 14–16 oz (400–450 g) bagged coleslaw mix (green cabbage, purple cabbage, and carrots)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) full-fat Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) mayonnaise (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) honey
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 g) salt
  • ¼ teaspoon (1.25 g) freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley or dill
  • Optional: squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Chill the bagged coleslaw mix in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before starting (optional but recommended).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to the dressing; taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. Pour the dressing over the chilled coleslaw mix and gently fold with a spatula until evenly coated, avoiding overmixing to keep the crunch.
  5. Stir in chopped fresh parsley or dill if using.
  6. Cover and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and cabbage soften slightly.

Notes

Chilling the coleslaw mix before mixing helps retain crunch. Avoid overmixing to prevent sogginess. Adjust sweetness and acidity to taste. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt and mayo with plant-based alternatives. Serve chilled or slightly cold. Store dressing separately to keep cabbage crisp longer.
