Summer is coming and what better side dish than cole slaw. Unfortunately, store bought cole slaw is 230 calories for a 1/2 cup serving with 10 mg of cholesterol per serving. Until recently it made sense to buy store made cole slaw because home made was really a chore. Now with the advent of bagged salads, making your own home made cole slaw is a breeze. To make the cole slaw, empty 1 bag of cole slaw (about 6 cups) into a large bowl.
In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of Helmann's light mayonnaise (140 calories), 2 packets Splenda, 3 TB lemon juice. At this point you can get creative -- add a tsp of Dijon Mustard or a tsp of White Horse Radish for a little zing -- and whisk all the ingredients together.
Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the cole slaw, mix well and enjoy.
This recipe makes about 10 servings with 50 calories per serving vs the 230 calories in the store bought version!
