Print Recipe

Garlic Yogurt Slaw is a fresh, creamy, and tangy side dish combining crisp shredded cabbage and carrots with a garlic-infused Greek yogurt dressing. This healthy, protein-packed slaw offers a bright flavor and crunchy texture, perfect for pairing with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a refreshing complement to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup grated carrots

Dressing

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Herbs

  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as dill or parsley), chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Finely shred the cabbage and grate the carrots. Finer shredding helps the vegetables blend better with the creamy yogurt dressing, creating an even texture.
  2. Mix the Dressing: In a separate bowl, combine plain Greek yogurt with freshly minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine Everything: Pour the yogurt dressing over the shredded cabbage and grated carrots. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the flavorful dressing.
  4. Add Fresh Herbs and Chill: Fold in the chopped fresh herbs like dill or parsley to add brightness. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld perfectly.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt for a thicker and creamier texture that holds the slaw together.
  • Minced fresh garlic adds aromatic depth; use a garlic press for an even, mild garlic distribution.
  • Let the slaw rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to deepen and meld flavors.
  • If the vegetables release excess liquid, drain it to keep the slaw crisp and avoid watery texture.
  • Adjust salt, pepper, and lemon juice just before serving to taste.
