Creamy cole slaw (Nancy)

This is one of our faves from Dr. Oz's "You on a Diet" ... You have to take a leap of faith to substitute yogurt for mayonnaise -- but it really does work. Who knew! You can eat this stuff with impunity.

INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
3 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon caraway seed, or celery seed (optional)
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 cups shredded red cabbage, (1/4 of a small head)
2 cups shredded green cabbage, (1/4 of a small head)
1 cup grated carrots, (2 medium)
(Or you can substitute with five cups from a bag of cabbage and carrots already cut up for cole slaw)

Directions
1. Combine mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard, vinegar and sugar in a large bowl. Add caraway seed (or celery seed), if using. Season with salt and pepper. Add cabbage and carrots and toss well. (It's best if you let it sit in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.)

  1. Yes, yogurt for mayo works really well in lots of things. Depending on the recipe and my overall calorie picture for the day, I also use a mayo/yogurt mix. Yogurt for the bulk, with a bit of mayo to "warm" the flavor.
