Greek Yogurt Lime Slaw
Greek yogurt lime slaw is made with yogurt instead of the classic mayo to make a healthier, tangy variety of slaw that pairs perfectly with my slow-cooker citrus pork.
Jump to RecipeI like a fresh coleslaw to top my street tacos, but I prefer a coleslaw with a lighter sauce than classic recipes made with mayo. While experimenting with slaw recipes I found that Greek yogurt makes a great substitute. I like that yogurt makes a creamy slaw with added protein and a fresh tang. The lime juice adds a delicious tartness, and the orange juice contributes a natural sweetness and lovely citrus flavor.
Fresh squeezed lime juice is probably the best way to top any street taco, so the lime juice in this slaw makes it a perfect pair for street tacos as well. Try it on my citrus sweet pork tacos, or with your favorite street taco recipe.
