Ingredients

1/2 pointed cabbage, thinly sliced

1 carrot, julienned

5 radishes, thinly sliced

3 tbsp parsley, finely chopped

1 tsp mustard

1 tbsp mayonnaise

2 cloves garlic, minced

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1 tbsp agave syrup

1/2 tsp chili flakes

Salt to taste

Pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Add the sliced cabbage, carrot, radishes, and spring onions to a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, parsley, mustard, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, agave syrup, chili flakes, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

Notes

For a colorful variation, replace pointed cabbage with red cabbage.

Add sliced apples or raisins for extra sweetness.

Mix in sunflower seeds or chopped walnuts for added crunch.

Increase the chili flakes or add hot sauce for a spicier flavor.

Swap parsley with dill or cilantro for a different herb profile.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Toss before serving leftovers as the dressing may settle.

To make this recipe vegan, use plant-based yogurt and mayonnaise alternatives.
