Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt I like 2%
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning adjust to taste
  • 16 oz tri-color coleslaw mix green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayo, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and Cajun seasoning.
  • Add the coleslaw mix and stir until everything is evenly coated.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Chill for at least 15 minutes before serving, or enjoy right away if you’re short on time.

Notes

  • You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Let the slaw sit for at least 15 minutes to help the flavors meld and the cabbage soften slightly.
  • If your Cajun seasoning is extra spicy, add a drizzle of honey or a pinch of sugar to balance the heat.
