Ingredients

Scale

Coleslaw Mix

  • 10 oz bag angel hair coleslaw
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup raisins

Dressing

  • 2 (6 oz) containers Lemon Burst yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Fruit

  • 2 cups diced strawberries (16 oz package)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the angel hair coleslaw mix, raisins, and sliced almonds. Stir well to evenly distribute.
  2. Prepare Dressing: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the lemon burst yogurt, mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and fully incorporated.
  3. Toss Slaw with Dressing: Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly with the creamy dressing.
  4. Chill the Slaw: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld and the mixture to chill.
  5. Add Strawberries Before Serving: Just before serving, gently fold in the diced strawberries to prevent them from becoming soggy or bleeding their juice, which keeps the slaw fresh and visually appealing.

Notes

  • Adding the strawberries just before serving helps maintain their texture and prevents the coleslaw from turning pink.
  • You can substitute the mayonnaise with a lighter option or Greek yogurt for a lower-fat version.
  • For extra crunch, try adding some chopped celery or green onions.
  • This coleslaw can be prepared a day ahead; keep strawberries separate until serving time.
