Coleslaw is good for you, but only when made with certain ingredients. The added sugar and ton of mayo are not those “good for you” ingredients. But it is one of my favorite cook out dishes, so I set out to make a healthier version of this summer staple. Cottage cheese slaw is higher in protein and lower in fat than traditional recipes.
Cottage Cheese Slaw
Now, I’m not a huge fan of cottage cheese, but I have grown to tolerate it if I am really hungry. However, I was pleasantly surprised that the cottage cheese married so well with the cabbage. In my husbands words, this one is “blog worthy” (yes, I do make some “not blog worthy” dishes). I will definitely be making this version of coleslaw again.
No heat necessary for this cottage cheese slaw, which makes it ideal for hot summer months. Cottage cheese slaw can be your new cook out staple alongside grilled pork chops or baked BBQ chicken.
