Devin recommends buying pre shredded green cabbage from the grocery store if you can find it. If not, make sure you shred it finely yourself. It makes for a much nicer slaw, especially given the other components in this recipe.
Peak season for papayas is early summer and fall, so I try to make this slaw often during those times.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup plain fat free yogurt or quark
- 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup 100% orange juice (not from concentrate; preferably freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar

- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
Instructions
- In a large resealable plastic container, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, orange juice, vinegar, and sweetener. Add the cabbage, papaya, and onion and stir until well combined.
