Description
Instead of coating my cabbage in mayo to make a high calorie, high fat coleslaw, I'm using hummus as my binder for more protein and fiber for less fat and calories. Not to mention that this also tastes much better than your standard diner side dish.

For an oil & vinegar based coleslaw, check out my BBQ Pulled Chicken & Coleslaw!

  1. Mix together shredded cabbage and hummus in a large bowl.
    Notes
    1. I've written this recipe to call for an entire standard 8 oz (226 g) container of storebought hummus, as well as a standard size 16 oz (454 g) bag of shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix.
    2. Feel free to use any flavor of storebought or homemade hummus. Here I'm using my homemade Lentil Hummus.
    3. Either buy a bag of shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix, or just cut up the cabbage yourself. I did the latter here.
    4. Nutrition facts are assuming a standard storebought hummus.
    5. Compared to standard coleslaw, my Hummus Coleslaw is lower in fat and calories, while being higher in protein and fiber. Below is a comparison per 170 g.
