Waldorf Slaw

We got a giant head of cabbage from the farmer this week and the only thing I really know what to do with cabbage is make cole slaw.

This of course required more shredding, which did make another mess. What is it with this shredding?

Anyway, I wanted to make a lower fat version than the norm and also wanted something a little less vinager-y. So I kind of made up a recipe.

I found a recipe for a Waldorf type dressing that used yogurt with a little mayo. Since my dressing was Waldorf style, I also shredded an apple to mix with my cabbage.

The dressing went sort of like this (I had too much cabbage and had to fudge the amounts a little)-

1/4 or so of plain yogurt

2 Tbs mayo

1 Tbs honey (I added a little more because you couldn’t really taste it)

1-2 Tbs lemon juice

1/4 tsp pepper

It’s sweeter than your usual slaw dressing and we both thought it was quite tasty.

You could easily shred some carrot, pear, or other veggies too. I also thought the addition of a few walnuts (like a Waldorf salad) would be good, but hubs doesn’t like it when you add nuts to recipes.
