I love coleslaw. I used to be indifferent towards it but for the past few years, I am totally for it. Oh, the freshness that comes with every bite and not to mention the nutrition. This best every coleslaw recipe will deliver just that and more health quotient by using part greek yogurt and part mayonnaise.

Lately, we have been eating tons of coleslaw on the side of Spicy Chicken Stir Fry or this Firecracker Meatballs.

What goes into this coleslaw?

Totally simple and easy-to-grab ingredients go into this best ever coleslaw recipe. I like to chop my own veggies, I am like that, I like taking the time to chop. But of course, this recipe is for a small batch. You can always pick up a bag of shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix of veggies for this recipe.

I like to add red cabbage and carrot for the vibrant color it brings to the coleslaw. You can make this coleslaw with just green cabbage or only red cabbage; also you can choose to completely skip the carrots.

Other ingredients are totally pantry ingredients. I use some eggless mayo which of course you can substitute with regular mayo. Also, I use more greek yogurt making this a much lighter and healthier coleslaw. Using greek yogurt gives you more or less a creamy coleslaw like the one you make with only mayo.

The taste and the texture are exactly the same when you use greek yogurt; I personally feel it tastes the best. You can, however, use full-on mayo and relish this coleslaw. Along with this, some more seasonings go in but that’s it for the basic ingredients.

Serving suggestions:

Like I mentioned, this goes well with almost any main course and goes great with spicy hot dishes. I have once eaten this as a main course, lol. Anyway, here are some ways I like to serve this best ever coleslaw recipe:

• Serve it alongside Firecracker Chicken Meatballs
• On the side of this super spicy Chicken Stir Fry
• Replace mayo with yogurt and sugar with stevia and serve this for a KETO meal with this KETO chicken fritters
• Stuff these pita breads with some of this coleslaw and top it up with some grilled greek chicken.
• Make use of this coleslaw in a more common way by stacking it on a burger.
