When you are managing your appetite or navigating a weight-loss journey, finding a side dish that is light on the stomach, packed with gut-healthy ingredients, and takes under two minutes to make is a total win.

Instead of a heavy, oil-based dressing, this recipe utilizes creamy plain Greek yogurt to deliver a subtle protein boost and a velvety texture. Tossed with a pre-packaged cabbage mix and a splash of zesty apple cider vinegar, every bite offers an incredibly satisfying crunch and a natural dose of digestion-supporting dietary fiber. It is a brilliant, low-glycemic way to add vibrant volume and a punch of flavor to your lunch or dinner plate while keeping your nutrition completely clean.

Greek yogurt coleslaw replaces the traditional mayonnaise dressing with plain Greek yogurt and apple cider vinegar. This small serving contains an estimated two grams of protein, so it adds a modest protein boost.

Serve it alongside chicken, fish or pulled pork to add cabbage, crunch and acidity to the meal. For a family-size batch, multiply all ingredients by four and list the larger yield separately.

Using Greek yogurt gives the dressing a smooth texture and gentle tang while keeping the ingredient list simple. The recipe takes only a few minutes to prepare and can easily be multiplied for family meals or meal prep.
