Slaw Mix
- 10 oz bag angel hair coleslaw
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup raisins
Dressing
- 2 (6 oz) cups Lemon Burst yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Add-ins
- 2 cups diced strawberries
- Combine slaw ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the angel hair coleslaw mix, sliced almonds, and raisins thoroughly to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
- Prepare dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Lemon Burst yogurt, mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well blended.
- Mix dressing with slaw: Pour the prepared dressing over the coleslaw mixture and toss well to coat all the ingredients evenly with the dressing.
- Chill the coleslaw: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the slaw to chill thoroughly.
- Prepare strawberries: Just before serving, dice the fresh strawberries into small pieces to avoid them coloring the slaw prematurely.
- Add strawberries and serve: Gently fold the diced strawberries into the chilled coleslaw mixture and toss lightly. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh texture and vibrant flavor of the berries.
Notes
- For a tangier version, use Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt in the dressing.
- To add crunch, substitute sliced almonds with sunflower seeds or poppy seeds.
- Try swapping strawberries with other berries like blueberries or raspberries for variation.
- Mix the coleslaw and dressing in advance but add the diced strawberries just before serving to prevent color bleeding.
- Replace raisins with dried cranberries for a different fruity twist.
