Instructions
Greek Yogurt Dressing
- In bowl, whisk together yogurt, honey and vinegar. Whisk in orange juice, 1 tbsp at a time, until thin enough to drizzle. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk in pink peppercorns. Store in airtight jar in fridge for up to 3 days.
Slaw
- A good hour before you want to serve your slaw, place about 6 cups of desired slaw ingredients in a large bowl and toss to combine. Let dressing come to room temperature and give it a good shake. Pour desired amount over slaw and toss. Cover and let sit in fridge for 1 hour to let flavours meld.
- To serve, add any optional toppings and gently toss. Garnish with seeds or nuts.
Notes
Chopped carrots, celery and fennel can be covered with cold water before sealing the container to keep them crisp. When you feel like slaw, just pull out whichever veggies are calling your name.
