Party Food: Coleslaw with a ‘difference’

Wowza! What a day.

I left home this morning at 5am, and didn't get home from my Brisbane work trip until after 8pm! A long day indeed. While I enjoy travelling for work, it can be quite disruptive to my routine at times, particularly with respect to training. But hey, I guess there is always tomorrow right???

Rather than bore you with pictures of the toasted ham/cheese/tomato sandwich I threw together for dinner (which was exactly what I felt like for dinner – but was rather dull from a blogging perspective) I thought I would share with you another one of the salads we served at the recent birthday party.

Coleslaw!

But not your average coleslaw – a coleslaw with a difference.



Natural yoghurt, dijon mustard, fresh dill, white wine vinegar and lemon juice combined…



To make a rich creamy dressing without the usually calorific mayonnaise!



Stirred through purple and green cabbage, carrots and celery…



Crunchy and creamy. Just how a good coleslaw should be. And, with the added bonus of having extra flavour but minus the calories.

Another healthy take on an old classic if you will :)

Coleslaw with yoghurt dill dressing

• 1/4 green cabbage, shredded
• 1/4 purple cabbage, shredded
• 3 carrots, grated
• 1/2 bunch celery, sliced finely
• 1 cup natural yoghurt
• 2 tbs dijon mustard
• 1 tbs white wine vinegar
• 2 tbs lemon juice
• handful of chopped dill

1. Place the salad ingredients in a large bowl and stir to combine.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the yoghurt, dijon, vinegar, lemon juice and dill.
3. Pour dressing over the salad and stir until well combined.

What about you? Do you have a favourite coleslaw recipe?

Happy Baking :)
