- Mix the dressing:Â In a large bowl, whisk yogurt, ACV, lemon, honey, olive oil, Dijon, celery seed, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Toss the slaw:Â Add cabbages, carrots, apple, scallions, and herbs to the bowl. Toss until everything is glossy and evenly coated.
- Rest & serve: Let sit 10–15 minutes (or up to 2 hours chilled) so the cabbage softens slightly and flavors meld. Sprinkle seeds before serving for crunch.
Make it yours (variations)
- Dairy-free probiotic: Use coconut yogurt with live cultures; add 1–2 tsp ACV extra to brighten.
- Extra prebiotics: Fold in ½ cup finely chopped raw sauerkraut (unpasteurized) just before serving.
- Spicy kimchi slaw: Replace half the yogurt with chopped kimchi + 1 tsp sesame oil; top with toasted sesame seeds.
- Creamier: Stir in 2–3 tbsp tahini.
- Sweeter crunch: Add ¼ cup raisins or sliced grapes.
Serving ideas
- Pile into fish or chicken tacos.
- Serve with grilled salmon or roast chickpeas for a balanced plate.
- Layer into sandwiches/wraps for juicy crunch.
Prep & storage
- Keeps 3–4 days in an airtight container (it gets tangier and softer each day).
- For max crunch, store dressing separately and toss right before eating.
- If it tightens up in the fridge, loosen with a splash of kefir or lemon.
Gentle-gut notes
- Sensitive to FODMAPs? Use only green parts of scallions, skip garlic, and keep to ~1 cup slaw per serving.
- Chew well and serve slightly chilled (not ice-cold) for easier digestion.
