Ingredients

• 2 cups pasta (small shapes like fusilli or elbows)
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 cup red cabbage, finely shredded
• 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside to cool completely.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, prepare the broccoli by cutting it into small florets. Blanch the broccoli briefly in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then immediately transfer it to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Drain well and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, blanched broccoli, shredded carrots, shredded red cabbage, and sliced green onions.

Step 4

In a separate smaller bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the pasta and vegetable mixture. Toss everything together until evenly coated.

Step 6

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the slaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Give the slaw a final toss before serving. Serve cold or at room temperature as a side dish or a light main course.
