Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ head purple cabbage roughly four cups once sliced
  • ½ head cabbage roughly 4 cups once sliced

  • Combine cabbage and carrots in a large bowl and toss to combine.
  • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, yogurt, apple cider vinegar, and spices.
  • Pour half the dressing over the coleslaw and begin to mix. Once almost mixed pour in the other half and mix again.
  • Make sure each and every piece of cabbage is coated.
  • Toss in the cranberries and combine.

  • Refrigerate for a minimum of six hours though it's best after twenty four.

Notes

This is the mayonnaise brand I use. To make this a vegan coleslaw recipe make sure to use the vegan mayo option also. Any yogurt will work but I opt for Dairy-free Greek Yogurt.
The better (thinner) you slice the cabbage, the more dressing it will absorb. Take the time to shred it or use a mandolin to get even slices. Or use a pre-shredded bag.
This paleo coleslaw tastes best after it's been in the fridge for a full day. In order for the slaw not to absorb all of the homemade yogurt dressing immediately, try to chill the other ingredients prior to adding them together.
Know that the coleslaw will look dry after it's mixed but that it moistens up after sitting.
Not a curry fan? Just omit the spice! This paleo coleslaw still tastes delicious without it. 
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Make sure to mix it before reserving.
