Ingredients
Dressing
- 4 Tbsp Greek Yogurt
- 1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Water
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/4 tsp Pepper black, freshly ground, or to taste
Garnish
- 2 tsp Sesame Seeds roasted
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables. Peel the carrots into strips using a vegetable peeler. Thinly slice the celery stalks. Set aside.
- Make the dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, water, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Combine the slaw. Add the chickpeas, shredded cabbage, sliced celery, and shredded carrots to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
- Chill and serve. Sprinkle the roasted sesame seeds over the slaw. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours to allow the flavors to meld. This also helps the slaw stay crunchy. Serve chilled.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Refrigeration is optional. You can serve the slaw immediately after sprinkling with sesame seeds.
- For added crunch and nutrition, lightly toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet before sprinkling.
- For a vegan version, substitute the Greek yogurt with a thick, unsweetened plant-based yogurt (like coconut or cashew) and add a teaspoon of lemon juice.
- For meal prepping, store the dressing and slaw components separately and combine just before serving.
- A pinch of chaat masala or smoked paprika in the dressing adds a flavor boost that complements the chickpeas and cabbage.
Expert Tips
- Customize the slaw by adding other vegetables like shredded carrots, bell peppers, or red onion.
- For a heartier meal, add grilled chicken or fish to the slaw.
- If you don't have Greek yogurt, sour cream or mayonnaise can be used as a substitute, but adjust the amount to your liking as they are thicker.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover slaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It's best to store the dressing separately and combine it just before serving to maintain the slaw's crispness.
