Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

In a large mixing bowl, combine the red cabbage, green cabbage, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, snap peas, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. (5 minutes)

02

Step

3 mins

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, Greek yogurt, sesame oil, celery seed, sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. (3 minutes)

03

Step

2 mins

Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated. (2 minutes)

04

Step

2 hrs

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the coleslaw to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably longer, to allow the flavors to meld together. (2 hours+)

05

Step

Before serving, give the coleslaw another toss. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

For best results, allow the coleslaw to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or even overnight.
If you prefer a sweeter coleslaw, add a little more sugar to the dressing.
Feel free to experiment with other vegetables, such as shredded carrots or thinly sliced radishes.
A touch of Dijon mustard can add a nice tang to the dressing. Start with 1/2 teaspoon.
For a creamier coleslaw, increase the amount of Greek yogurt in the dressing.
If you don't have red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar can be substituted.
