Coleslaw
This better-for-you recipe uses scallions and dried cranberries for fantastic flavor, a pop of color, and a dose of nutrition.
Ingredients
- 4 cups shredded cabbage, see note
- 2 cups shredded carrots, see note
- ½ cup chopped scallion, green onions
- ¼ to ½ cup dried cranberries
- ¼ cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt or coarse sea salt
- Ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and toss to mix. (You can adjust the texture and flavor to your preference; simply add more mayo for extra creaminess and additional spices, including mustard and scallions, to bolden up the taste.)
