A side order of coleslaw at a popular fast food restaurant contains 232 calories and 14 grams of fat. Not what you want to be taking in just to get some veggies.
You can make great light-tasting coleslaw that’s low in calories and fat. It gives you the tang of the mayonnaise dressing and the crunch of the cabbage while being good for you.
Take a ready-to-eat “Coleslaw” mix of shredded green cabbage and carrots (it is a bag of veggies, washed and ready to eat in the refrigerated section). In a bowl whisk together: 1/4 cup low fat mayonnaise, 1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt, 1 Tbs. vinegar, 1 Tbs. Splenda, and a dash of salt and pepper. Toss the coleslaw veggies with the mayonnaise dressing until evenly coated. Keep refrigerated.
A serving size of 1 1/2 cups is only 43 calories! (You could eat the whole bowl for under 200 calories if you wanted.)
