Creamy coleslaw

Made a big pot of beans this evening for dinner and bought some coleslaw-in-a-bag to go alongside. I love coleslaw "dressing" but hate all the calories and fat. I found a recipe to make my own from a cookbook on my shelf, Healthy Cooking for Two (or just you). It's a brilliant cookbook as it lists ingredients for all recipes in columns - buy the fixings for one serving or two, as you see fit. It make it so easy to double things!

Called "Thin & Creamy Coleslaw," it has only 2 grams of fat and 83 calories per serving.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup light sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • pepper to taste
  • 3 cups thinly sliced or shredded cabbage
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced (I omitted this)

Preparation:

In a medium salad bowl, whisk together sour cream, sugar, vinegar, mustard and pepper. Add the cabbage and onion; toss well. Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes to blend the flavors. Just before serving, toss the slaw again.

~Serves 2~

The coleslaw was excellent!! My husband loved it too and he hates sour cream. I also omitted the onion. I tripled the recipe to go with the bagged slaw mix and made it about 6 hours before we ate it. Excellent!! Thank you Lesley!!
