Savoy cabbage or white cabbage

Savoy cabbage or white cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable that is low in calories but rich in fiber. It is an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin K and various antioxidants. Eating cabbage is believed to aid digestion, support heart health, and even help you lose weight.

Apple

Apples are rich in antioxidants and fiber. They are known to regulate blood sugar levels, improve heart health and strengthen the immune system. The natural sweetness of apples gives the coleslaw a refreshing taste while providing important vitamins and minerals.

carrots

Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is essential for good vision, a healthy immune system and proper cell growth. In addition, carrots are a good source of fiber and various antioxidants that support overall well-being.

Red onion

Red onions not only add flavor to coleslaw, but also provide health benefits. They contain powerful antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of chronic diseases. Red onions are also a good source of vitamin C and fiber.

Fat-free Greek yogurt

Greek yogurt is known for its high protein content and probiotics, which promote a healthy gut microbiome. It is a great source of calcium, vitamin B12 and other essential nutrients. Using non-fat Greek yogurt in the slaw provides creaminess without adding fat.

lemon juice

Lemon juice not only adds a tangy flavor to coleslaw but also provides various health benefits. It is rich in vitamin C, which plays a key role in immune function, collagen synthesis and iron absorption. Lemon juice is also believed to aid digestion and detoxification.

Apple Cider Vinegar
