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. Combine the coleslaw base: In a large mixing bowl, mix the angel hair coleslaw mix, raisins, and sliced almonds thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
  2. Prepare the dressing: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together both lemon burst yogurt containers, mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  3. Toss with dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the coleslaw mixture and stir well to coat all ingredients evenly.
  4. Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld and for the coleslaw to chill.
  5. Add strawberries before serving: Just prior to serving, fold in the diced strawberries gently to prevent them from getting soggy or bleeding color into the slaw, keeping the salad fresh and vibrant.

Notes

  • Adding the strawberries just before serving preserves their texture and prevents the coleslaw from turning pink.
  • This coleslaw can be prepared a day in advance, but add strawberries right before serving for best results.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the almonds and substitute with toasted sunflower seeds if desired.
  • Adjust salt and pepper amounts to taste depending on dietary preferences.
