Instructions

  1. 1

    Thinly slice 1/2 pointed cabbage and 6 radishes, and julienne 1 carrot. Sprinkle the cabbage with 1/2 tsp salt and toss gently to soften the cabbage. This step helps to draw moisture out of the cabbage, making it more tender and flavorful.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix together 150 g Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp mustard, juice of 1/2 lemon, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 tsp chili flakes, 1 tbsp agave syrup, and 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped until smooth. Ensure everything is well incorporated.

  3. 3

    Add the prepared 6 radishes and 1 carrot to the cabbage. Pour the dressing over the top. Toss everything until the cabbage and vegetables are well coated in the creamy dressing.

  4. 4

    Enjoy immediately for the freshest taste, or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, which allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
