Ingredients

• 1 small red cabbage, about 500g

• 85g Greek yogurt
• 30g mayonnaise
• 1tbsp sherry or white wine vinegar
• 1tbsp Dijon mustard

Method

1. Remove bruised or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage, then cut it in half. Using a sharp knife, cut out the dense core and discard it. Lay the cabbage cut side down on a chopping board and slice as thinly as possible. You could do this in a food processor or mandoline.
2. Put the cabbage in a large bowl with the carrots, spring onions, and dill, reserving a little to sprinkle on top.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the yogurt with the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, and a little salt and pepper. Stir through the vegetables and spoon into a serving dish. Scatter over the reserved dill and serve.
