Ingredients

For the Slaw:

  • 4 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup red cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup dill pickles, chopped
  • ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tbsp sunflower seeds
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

For the Dressing:

  • ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt (0% fat)
  • 2 tbsp pickle juice
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Shred green and red cabbage using sharp knife or mandoline. Place in large mixing bowl. Thinner slices coat better with dressing.
  • Chop dill pickles into small pieces and thinly slice red onion. Add to bowl with cabbage along with cilantro, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds.
  • In separate small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, pickle juice, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Pour dressing over cabbage mixture. Using clean hands or two spoons, toss thoroughly for about 2 minutes until every strand is coated.
  • Let slaw rest at least 5 minutes before serving. This allows cabbage to soften slightly and absorb flavors. Better after 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Garnish with extra cilantro and seeds.

Notes

  • Storage: Keeps 5 days refrigerated. Flavors improve after first day.
  • Meal Prep: Make Sunday for grab-and-go sides all week. Stays crunchy.
  • Substitutions: Coconut yogurt for vegan (add hemp seeds for protein). Regular yogurt makes it watery.
  • Protein Boost: Top bowls with grilled protein for 30g+ complete meal.
