Instructions
- Shred 4 cups green cabbage and 1 cup red cabbage using a knife, mandoline, or food processor.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper.

Notes
Substitute vegan mayo for a dairy-free version or use light mayonnaise for reduced calories. You can swap honey with maple syrup or agave for a vegan-friendly option. Make ahead and refrigerate for up to 4 days, but toss before serving as moisture may accumulate. To avoid soggy slaw, keep dressing and veggies separate until just before serving. For extra crunch, add sliced bell peppers or seeds.
