I made a lovely coleslaw type salad with cabbage, carrot, red onion, peppers and apple with balsamic vinegar and lemon for a dressing. Didn't miss the mayo at all

I use fromage frais and add a bit of mustard powder.

I used Cabbage, Red Onion and carrot with an egg yolk, a tiny drop of white wine vinegar, mustard powder and half quark/half fat free yogurt.

All sounds a bit strange really but it was really good, my OH kept pinching it!!

I think the egg yolk adds to the texture when not using 'proper' mayo. And the vingear (doesn't have to be white wine , i think any will do) gives it a little something

Even if you do add mayo i would vote for a bit of mustard (add to taste) and red onions as must have ingredients

Hope it goes well, keep us posted xxx

Ive made it quite alot recently, i just use onion carrot cabbage and a bit of lighter than light mayo and its lush! Made a massive bowl and the whole thing was only 4 syns! X

When making the coleslaw do you only use a little bit of mayo? I really don't know how much to use =/

Red cabbage. White cabbage. Carrots. Sliced finely/grated. One finely sliced and separated out red onion. One tablespoon fat-free Quark. One tablespoon extra-light mayonnaise. One tablespoon milk. One tablespoon vinegar. Juice of half a lemon. Shake of mustard powder. Shake of celery seed. Salt. Pepper. Mix together. Enjoy.

white cabbage,carrot and red onion , one tablespoon lite mayo(syn) and2/3 tablespoons of natural fat free yoghurt. make this all the time and gets better every time. best to make a small batch and use up quickly as taste much nicer when freshly made.
