Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 pointed cabbage: The star of the coleslaw providing a crunchy texture while being lower in calories than traditional green cabbage.
  • 1/2 tsp salt: Enhances the flavors of the vegetables and helps draw out moisture from the cabbage.
  • 1 carrot: Adds a natural sweetness and vibrant color to the dish when julienned or grated.
  • 6 radishes: Brings a peppery crunch making the salad more dynamic and texturally interesting.
For the Dressing:
  • 150 g Greek yogurt: Acts as a creamy base while being high in protein and probiotics making it a healthier choice over sour cream or mayonnaise.
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise: Adds richness and creaminess to the dressing; can be adjusted or substituted with more yogurt for a lighter version.
  • 1 tbsp mustard: Introduces a zesty kick that balances the sweetness of the other ingredients.
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon: Provides acidity to brighten the flavors and enhance freshness.
  • 2 cloves garlic minced: Infuses the dressing with a robust flavor that complements the other ingredients.
  • 1 tbsp agave syrup: Adds a touch of sweetness to counterbalance the tanginess.
  • 1/2 tsp pepper: Black pepper adds a bit of heat and complexity to the dressing.
  • 1 tsp chili flakes: Offers a spicy element which can be adjusted depending on personal preference.
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped: Herbaceous notes complement the flavors beautifully, offering freshness to the salad.

Method
 

Prepare the Vegetables:
  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.
Make the Dressing:
  1. 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.
Combine:
  1. 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.
Serve:
  1. Enjoy immediately for the freshest taste, or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, which allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
