One serving of coleslaw from a fast food restaurant can contain as much as 11 grams of fat. Here is a lower-fat version that only has 3 grams of fat per serving and makes a great side dish with a sandwich. You can also use it to top a BBQ pork sandwich or a reduced-fat hot dog.

Ingredients:

Salad:

• 6 cups packaged shredded cabbage and carrot mix for slaw
• ½ cup diced celeryDressing:
• ¾ cup non-fat plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
• ¼ cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon sugar 
• 2 tablespoons non-fat milk
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• White pepper to taste (be careful — it’s spicy!)

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, carrots and celery.
2. In a smaller bowl, stir the dressing ingredients.
3. Mix the dressing with the vegetables.
4. Chill for 2 hours. Re-stir if dressing separates before serving.

Makes six servings.
