Late last year, I whipped up the delicious pulled pork recipe that Land of Zonkt shared in her ‘your weekly feed’ link up. This is a great link up for weekly meal planning inspiration and I have whipped up quiet a few of the recipes that people have shared in this link up. Now, to go with the pulled pork, I made a delicious beetroot coleslaw.
This coleslaw is super easy – just grate all of your veggies and simply mix through some seasoned yoghurt and you’re done. I haven’t gone with a traditional ‘heavy’ mayonnaise based dressing as I think you want something light to cut through the pork and it is summer time {we have beach bodies to think of}.
- 1/4 head of red cabbage
- 1/4 head of white cabbage
- 3 large beetroots
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 lemon
- extra virgin olive oil
- 1 handful fresh soft herbs (use mint, fennel, dill, parsley and chervil)
- 250ml yoghurt
- sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- Shred the cabbage, beetroot and carrots on a mandoline, or use the julienne slicer in your food processor. Put the veg into a mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix half the lemon juice, a lug of extra virgin olive oil, the chopped herbs, yoghurt and mustard. Pour this dressing over the veg and mix well to coat everything. Season to taste with salt and pepper and the rest of the lemon juice if you like.
Have you tried out any of the recipes from the ‘My Weekly Feed’ link up? If you have whipped up one of my recipes, I would love for you to share it on social media – don’t forget to use the hashtag #goodfoodweek.
Okay, forgive me if this is a stupid question but what kind of yoghurt? Plain old natural? It looks delicious and I’m adding it to next weeks meal plan right now 🙂
Natural unsweetened or greek yoghurt is fine. I’d love to know how you go with it Melinda 🙂
Thanks Shari. I’ll definitely report back 🙂
Hi Shari, I made this last night with chicken meatballs and sweet potato mash. It was delicious! I had some feta to use up which I sprinkled on top of the coleslaw before serving. Will definitely be making it again 🙂
Hi Melinda, thanks so much for letting me know that you loved the recipe. It is always so nice to read these comments!
What a beautiful looking salad Shari! And so healthy too 🙂
It is so bright and cheerful.
Love this coleslaw, Shari! There’s nothing like just being able to grate and mix when it comes to sides. Such a light, refreshing side dish to go with just about anything at this time of year! I bet the yoghurt would add a lovely tang to the salad. Yum 🙂
Thanks Lisa – it’s super easy and delicious. And grating all the veggies means that they are tender enough for little mouths with not too many teeth.
