Coleslaw

I really like coleslaw, so I decided to make a Slimming World-friendly version to pop in the fridge and eat with jacket potatoes and with the salads I take to work. I looked online for a recipe and found about 10 different versions. Here is the one I went with:

Ingredients:

-Half a cabbage;
-1 large onion;
-2 carrots;
-2 tablespoons of light mayonnaise;
-10 tablespoons of fat free natural yogurt;
-1 tablespoon of French mustard;
-2 tablespoons of chives;
-Salt and pepper.

Syns = 3 for the whole bowl.

Method:

1) Chop the cabbage up coarsely;
2) Peel and grate two whole carrots and add to the bowl;
3) Finely chop one large onion;
4) Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl;
5) Add the light mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard and chives to the bowl and mix well;
6) Season with plenty of salt and pepper.

My thoughts…

This coleslaw tasted nice, but if I made it again I would use white cabbage rather than purple cabbage, because I kept thinking I was eating “healthy coleslaw” and not the real stuff. There’s no hiding cabbage when it’s bright purple!

Also, I think you’d be better off using fromage frais instead of yogurt within this recipe. I can’t seem to find fromage frais in my local supermarket, so I use natural yogurt as an alternative.

Overall, I'd say this is something I will definitely be making again.
