Very nice coleslaw, this one came from a Safeway handout. The original recipe made an enormous salad. This is sufficient amount for four decent sized salads. The dressing is intentionally bland; to bring together the ingredients without overtaking them with flavour. If you rather have a creamier version, just increase the yogurt and the mayonnaise. Yes, it will be good with low fat versions too.
