Use lowfat sour cream and yogurt for a healthier coleslaw dressing.
If you love coleslaw but are turned off by the high fat content in the prepared dressing for the dish, you can prepare your own tangy, creamy sauce to pour over the chopped cabbage. This way, you can enjoy this chilled, and crunchy treat and still stick to your healthy diet. This side dish is a tasty addition to barbecue fare, or you can add other vegetables like carrots or broccoli for a quick salad you can enjoy with your favorite dinner creation.
Instructions
1. Mix skim milk yogurt and low fat sour cream in a bowl.
2. Add the grated shallots or chives to the sour cream mixture, along with the black pepper.
3. Mix in ground celery seed and lime juice into the dressing for a fresh taste.
4. Add artificial sweetener to taste, along with the rice wine vinegar. For a tangier taste, add apple cider vinegar instead.
5. Mix in the minced garlic, chopped red bell pepper, salt and paprika. Add water to keep the dressing from getting too thick.
6. Whisk all the ingredients together and pour over shredded cabbage. You can also add chopped carrots, broccoli or radishes to the coleslaw for added crunch and sweetness.
