Lower-Fat Coleslaw

I’ve been trying to create a coleslaw dressing with the lowest possible fat intake. This is as low as I could go without taking away the flavor. It’s a family favorite and we use it with all kinds of meals, in wraps, in sandwiches, with burgers, and as a side during BBQs.

Original recipe makes 8 servings
