Prep Time:15 minutes
Additional Time:2 hours
Total Time:2 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

Coleslaw

  • 2 large Granny Smith apples
  • ¼ head green cabbage
  • ½ head Napa cabbage
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley

Pineapple Yogurt Coleslaw Dressing

  • ½ cup plain Greek Yogurt
  • 3 teaspoons Apple Cider vinegar
  • 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons pineapple juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Chop up cabbage, Napa cabbage, parsley, and apples into small pieces. I like to chop the apples into very thin matchstick slices.
  • Mix all dressing ingredients together in a separate bowl and whisk together.
  • Pour dressing over apple/cabbage mixture and stir and mix until desired coverage is reached. I tend to go very light on the dressing.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This is best made the day before (or at least 2 hours before) it is needed so everything can mesh together in flavor.

Notes

  • Chop all the ingredients to roughly the same size. That way you don’t have huge chunks of apples or cabbage overpowering your bites.
  • Let it marinade – This slaw recipe is even better the next day. Make it the night before and let it sit in the fridge and all the flavors come together for an even more delicious flavor!
  • Less is more – For me, less dressing is better. Coleslaw dressing can be overwhelming, so add a little at a time. This recipe takes less than you think since the dressing is so sweet and creamy.
  • Timesaving Option - Short on time? Use a bagged coleslaw mix and simply cut up and add 2 green Granny Smith apples.
