    Condiments. I have a love-hate relationship with them.

    They're delicious and super important to cooking and eating. But they're also super annoying when they stack up in your refrigerator door or get shoved to the back to expire and die a slow, anonymous death while taking up a ridiculous amount of room. My solution - make my own! Especially condiments that rarely get used and are easy enough to make in my sleep. One such condiment is coleslaw dressing.

    Why You'll Love Homemade Greek Yogurt Coleslaw Dressing

    Not only is this coleslaw dressing a cinch to make, but it's made with ingredients you probably already keep stocked in my kitchen, so there's no need to buy something new. Any time you need to make coleslaw, (which may not be that often) just whisk together a few simple ingredients, and you have just enough dressing for one recipe! Not a whole bottle that will go to waste. It's creamy, tangy, and lightly sweetened - perfect for all of your coleslaw (and related salad) needs!

    What Makes This Dressing Healthier?

    This coleslaw dressing is a little healthier than most store-bought versions since it doesn't contain any added preservatives. It's also made lighter with protein-rich Greek yogurt, and the sugar is cut way down with just a touch of honey. No sugar or sodium bombs here!

    This dressing is super simple. Whisk together all of the ingredients in a jar. Done.

    How Long Will This Dressing Last?

    I intentionally made this dressing a little bit smaller in volume so that you don't have leftovers sitting in the fridge forever. But if you don't use it all, store dressing in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

      I'm always amazed that someone has to take a nasty tone when commenting on a recipe. Not sure who benefits from that, but oh well. . .
      Anyway, I'm grateful to have found this healthy option! I did cut back a bit on the vinegar & didn't measure exactly for spices, but used them to our household's tastes--easy enough to do! I found it to be really good, and will continue to use this rather than those mayonnaise-laden recipes, or ready-made options from the store.
      Thank you for sharing this recipe!

      Boring. One of the worst slaw recipes I ever made. I won't use yogurt as the only main liquid in slaw again.

      Hi Kaleigh,
      I love Cole Slaw and I'm looking forward to trying your recipe. I'm on Weight Watchers and have discovered Greek Yogurt as a substitute for mayo. Your recipe is worth 2 points!! Looking forward to making more of your recipes.

      3 Tablespoons of vinegar is way too much for 1/2 cup of yogurt. Should be 1 tablespoon of vinegar max.

        Hi Sarah,
        I don't include calorie counts on my recipes, but you can use one of the many free online calculators to estimate if you'd like.

        Hi Trish! The dressing should last as long as the date on the yogurt, but I try to use it within about a week or so.
