Coleslaw is a simple raw cabbage salad made usually with mayo-mustard- vinegar dressing.Normally the coleslaw has no mayo or mustard as these were discovered much later than the salad itself.Instead of mayo you can use thick (Greek) yogurt or hung curd.There are several versions and these days almost all cabbage salads are called slaws and they have several ingredients and sometimes cabbage has to take a backseat.I made a simple coleslaw or cabbage salad with red/purple cabbage with alfalfa sprouts and carrots.I did use eggless mayo that I had but went without mustard.
Ingredients:
Red cabbage: 1 cup finely chopped
Carrot: 1 cup grated
Alfalfa sprouts: 1 cup

Red cabbage with sprouts looks really good in slaw. Healthy full of color.
I have heard a lot about coleslaw and tis one looks very comforting.

"Instead of mayo you can use thick (Greek) yogurt" - great advice. It's way healthier! Maybe mix the two 50-50?
