Curried Coleslaw
Curried coleslaw is a creamy, crunchy, colorful mix with cilantro, green onions, nuts and raisins mixed in for maximum flavor. It’s great as a fun side dish paired with grilled chicken, burgers or kabobs.
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients
For the dressing:
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise (reduced fat is fine)
- ⅓ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons curry powder

- 3 green onions, sliced (light green and green parts)
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ½ cup chopped peanuts or cashews
- ⅓ cup golden raisins
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Make the dressing. Combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, curry powder and lime juice in a small bowl and mix well.
- Add the coleslaw mix and the green onions to a large bowl and stir. Add the dressing and mix well to get everything coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to several hours.

Notes
Coleslaw: The recipe calls for a bag of coleslaw, but you could certainly chop your own cabbage if you prefer. You’ll need about 6 cups. Also, I love the coleslaw mix with carrots - and especially love a southern style coleslaw that’s super finely chopped - but you can use your favorite.
Mayo & yogurt: You can lighten this up by using a light or reduced-fat mayo and nonfat Greek yogurt. Or go all in with regular mayo and sour cream. Whatever you got!
Nuts: Choose peanuts or cashews for the nut in this recipe.
Raisins: Also, we love this with golden raisins, but regular raisins are fine, too.
Spicy: Want a spicy kick? You could add a jalapeño to this coleslaw or add a few dashes of hot sauce to the creamy dressing mixture.
