Mouth-friendly recipe: healthy coleslaw

Bring a side that fits in at every summer occasion, this colorful coleslaw uses calcium-rich Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a tangy twist. The combination of carrots and red and green cabbage adds just the right amount of crunch to satisfy.

Cabbage is full of vitamin C, which helps maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Carrots are loaded with vitamin A, important for building strong teeth.
Greek yogurt is packed with phosphorus to help strengthen tooth enamel.

6 cups green cabbage, shredded
2 cups red cabbage, shredded
1 cup carrots, shredded
Peanuts (optional)
1 green onion, chopped (optional)

Dressing ingredients

½ cup plain Greek yogurt
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon garlic clove, minced
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Mix the ingredients for the dressing together in a small bowl.
Place the shredded cabbages and carrots in a large bowl.
Pour the dressing over the slaw mix and toss to combine.
Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
Enjoy!
