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
- 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.
- 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.
- Toss with dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the coleslaw mixture and stir well to coat all ingredients evenly.
- 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.
- 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.
