Broccoli Coleslaw Recipe

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve enjoyed traditional BBQ fare, and coleslaw was always my favorite. But then when I learned that it’s a mayo-based dressing and LOADED with fat, calories, and cholesterol, I was disappointed.

As a Weight Watchers member, I knew that I’d have to seriously limit my coleslaw intake. I’ve tried experimenting with other coleslaw recipes that I’ve found on popular diet recipe websites, but they were all pretty yucky. Then, after I discovered the awesomeness of Veganaise, I decided to attempt using it as a traditional Southern coleslaw recipe. I also decided to cut the mayo in half and use plain, nonfat Greek yogurt in place of that extra mayo.

For extra crunch and nutrients, I used Trader Joe’s Organic Broccoli Slaw (which is just shredded broccoli stems and carrots) instead of cabbage. It was AMAZING!! Tastes just like traditional coleslaw, but a LOT healthier. Each large serving is just 2 Points! You can also make this with cabbage too…the Points won’t change. It’s just primarily the coleslaw dressing recipe that makes the difference.

This is definitely a Weight Watchers Coleslaw Recipe that you’ll make again and again.
