This delicious lower-fat coleslaw is ideal if you're trying to be healthy but don't want to miss out on a summer favourite. We all know what goes into coleslaw; cabbage, onion, carrot and lashings of mayo. But if you’re looking for something a bit different and a little lighter, we’ve got the perfect recipe for you. This fiery accompaniment will add some heat to your burgers, jacket potatoes and salads. It’s far lower in calories than the high fat original, using yoghurt instead of mayonnaise and the added lime and coriander provides an Asian twist. Perfect for serving with BBQ pork or teriyaki salmon.

Top Tip for making Lower-fat coleslaw
