Low Fat Coleslaw

Instead of mayonnaise, try a dressing made of ½ cup of plain nonfat yogurt, 3 tablespoons of apple juice & 2 tablespoons of vinegar. That’s enough for a pound & a half of shredded cabbage with 2 cups of shredded carrots, 2 shredded celery stalks, 1/3 cup raisins & I diced apple. Each cup has about 74 calories (5% of them from fat).
