Creamy Coleslaw with Almonds and Raisins
Description
The coleslaw dressing is prepared by mixing plain Greek yogurt with sugar, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, kosher salt, and black pepper, creating a balance of sweet, tart, and savory notes. The packaged coleslaw mix, containing shredded cabbage and carrots, is then combined with the dressing alongside plump raisins and sliced almonds, which add chewiness and crunch respectively. The salad is mixed thoroughly and chilled until serving to allow flavors to meld and the texture to remain crisp.
This coleslaw is suitable as a refreshing side dish to many main courses. If pre-packaged coleslaw mix with red and green cabbage and carrots is unavailable, shredded cabbage and carrots from salad bars can be used as a substitute in equal quantity. The combination of yogurt-based dressing and dried fruit with nuts makes this coleslaw a versatile, textured complement to grilled or roasted dishes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup yogurt plain, Greek
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt coarse
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 14 ounces coleslaw mix packaged
- 2/3 cup raisins
- ½ cup almonds sliced
Instructions
- Combine the yogurt, sugar, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and peppers in a medium mixing bowl.

Notes
- If pre-cut coleslaw mix with green and red cabbage plus carrots is not available, you can combine shredded red cabbage and carrots from a grocery salad bar with green cabbage to make about one large head's worth.
- A 14-ounce bag of coleslaw mix is approximately equivalent to one large fresh cabbage head if you opt to shred it yourself.
