Blue Cheese Coleslaw Recipe
Description
The Blue Cheese Coleslaw Recipe features a creamy dressing of yogurt, mayonnaise, and crumbled blue cheese, enhanced with minced red onion, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and black pepper. The dressing coats thinly sliced purple and green cabbage, creating a crisp and colorful salad. Optional extras like crumbled bacon, slivered almonds, and raisins add savory and sweet elements that diversify the texture and flavor.
The vinegar in the dressing has been adjusted to be more subtle, letting the blue cheese and mayonnaise shine without overwhelming sharpness. For best flavor, the dressing benefits from resting for about half an hour before mixing with the cabbage, allowing the flavors to meld.
This coleslaw is suited as a side dish alongside grilled or roasted meats, sandwiches, or as part of a picnic spread. The balance of creamy, tangy, and crunchy components offers a versatile option to freshen heavier meals.
Ingredients
The Dressing
- ½ cup yogurt
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup blue cheese crumbled
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon red onion minced
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon black pepper

- ¼ head green cabbage thinly sliced (3 cups)

Instructions
- Mix the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl then set aside. (The dressing is best after half an hour but can be used right away if needed)

Notes
