Citrus Herb Coleslaw

I pretty much like any slaw: KFC coleslaw, ramen slaw, fancy Asian-style slaw with Napa cabbage, mango and jicama slaw from Trader Joes, the list goes on.  It’s the sort of thing that is easy to make at home too. So, last night I made a Citrus Herb Coleslaw.  Yum, right?  Ok, maybe not your thing, but this combines three things that I really like: lemon, parsley, and slaw. 

I had a little bit of some-timers when I was getting ready to make this.  I have made it before, but it’s been a good, long while.  I remembered the gist of it, but when I went to find the recipe in my Pinterest recipe hoard, it wasn’t there.  I think the last time that I made this was before I started hoarding all of my recipes in Pinterest!  Yikes!

Ok, let’s google that thing up.  Hmmmm…

I found something close, but it wasn’t quite what I wanted.  Good thing that I don’t care that much about following recipes.  I made up my own version and I’m going to post the recipe here for two reasons:

1. In case you want to try it (it’s super healthy and delicious).
2. So that I can find it the next time I want to make it again!

Cynthia’s Citrus Herb Coleslaw

Ingredients:

• Non-fat, plain yogurt (Greek or other)
• One lemon
• One bunch of parsley
• One bag of already shredded cabbage
• Sugar
• Salt
• Pepper
• Apple Cider Vinegar

First make the dressing. 

Combine:

• 4(ish) tablespoons yogurt
• Zest of the lemon
• Juice of the lemon
• ¼ teaspoon salt (or 2 pinches if you don’t feel like measuring)
• Good bunch of grinds of black pepper (less than the salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1-2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar

Wisk it together.

Assemble the slaw:

• Add 2(ish) tablespoons of snipped chives (optional)

• Add bag of shredded cabbage
• Combine thoroughly
• Cover and refrigerate for at least a little while

Enjoy!
