Apple and Brussels Sprout Slaw

Here is a vegetarian version of a slaw that traditionally contains bacon. It’s hearty enough to compliment salmon, poultry or even a veggie burger! 

Ingredients (use organic if available):

  • 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 c apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt 
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1  1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and thinly sliced from top to bottom
  • Gala apples, cored and thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Instructions: 

In a bowl, combine yogurt, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper; set aside.

Heat a large, deep nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and then sauté green cabbage and Brussels sprouts. Lower heat and cover stirring occasionally, for 7 to 10 minutes.

Remove lid and stir in apples and cook for an additional 4 minutes. 

Remove contents of the skillet to a serving bowl and let cool for 10 minutes. Stir in prepared dressing and toasted walnuts. Serves 6.
