Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Mix dressing with slaw: Pour the prepared dressing over the coleslaw mixture and toss well to coat all the ingredients evenly with the dressing.
  4. 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.
  5. Prepare strawberries: Just before serving, dice the fresh strawberries into small pieces to avoid them coloring the slaw prematurely.
  6. 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.
