- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar: Provides a mild acidity that ties the flavors together.
- 1 clove garlic: Minced for depth of flavor.

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the vegetables
- Start by peeling and thinly slicing the red onion. Place the slices in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes to mellow their sharpness.
- Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and finely shred it using a sharp knife or a mandoline.
- Peel and grate the carrot and apple. The apple will add a lovely sweetness that balances the tangy dressing.
Step 2: Make the dressing
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the natural yogurt, mayonnaise, spicy mustard, honey, and rice vinegar.
- Add the minced garlic and whisk everything together until smooth. Adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 3: Combine the ingredients
- Drain the onion and pat it dry with a paper towel.
- In the same large bowl as the dressing, add the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, grated apple, and sliced onion.
- Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated in the creamy dressing.
Step 4: Chill and serve
- Transfer the coleslaw to a serving dish, cover it, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Serve cold as a side dish or topping, and enjoy!
