Ingredients
  

  • cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 14 oz bag tri-color coleslaw mix
  • 3 green onions thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, ranch seasoning, lemon juice, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  • Add the tri-color coleslaw mix and sliced green onions to the bowl. Toss everything together until the cabbage is evenly coated in the ranch dressing.
  • Taste the dressing and adjust as needed. Add a little more vinegar for tang, a pinch more sugar for balance, or extra black pepper for flavor.
  • Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes if you have time, or serve right away if you need it fast. Before serving, make sure to give the slaw a good stir and taste once more for seasoning.

Notes

  • For the crunchiest texture, toss the coleslaw mix with the dressing 1 to 4 hours before serving.
  • Ranch seasoning blends vary in saltiness, so start with less salt and add more after tasting.
  • Make sure to keep the coleslaw chilled until serving for proper food safety, especially for cookouts and picnics.
  • Store leftover ranch coleslaw in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, stirring well and draining off any extra liquid before serving.
