If you want a lighter version of your favorite slaw recipe then try this one. I tested it out in my "test" kitchen and it turned out creamy and tangy just the way I like it. Use pre-shredded cabbage to save time. Usually it has been washed, just check the package information.

Serves 6-8
Prep time: 6 minutes
Total time: 12 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 - 16 ounce bag pre-shredded cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon flavored white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
  • salt to taste

    Instructions:

    In a medium bowl mix together mayonnaise, extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper. Add cabbage to the mayonnaise mixture and stir until well blended. Adjust flavors with more lemon pepper.

    Cooking Wiser:

    I use the bag of cabbage that has carrots and purple cabbage already added. If you prefer to shred your own, you will need 1 small head of white cabbage, 1/2 head purple cabbage and 2 medium carrots.

    Use low fat mayonnaise to decrease fat and calories

    Make it your own
    Add ½ teaspoon dried dill mix

    Use herb flavored vinegar- cilantro, dill or for a really different flavor use tarragon. Make flavored vinegar by combining 2 cups white wine vinegar with 2 sprigs fresh herbs, washed and dried. Heat in a medium saucepan until simmering. Remove from heat. Pour into a air tight jar.
