Hrásalat með skyri

Coleslaw with Skyr

Normally coleslaw, American coleslaw, is quite rich with mayonnaise and cream. This Icelandic version of Hrásalat is prepared with Skyr instead of mayonnaise and cream - so it's high in protein, low in fat and low in calories. However, it is important to let the salad sit for a long time so that it tastes good.


Ingredients

1/2 head white cabbage
1 bunch of spring onions
1 bunch of dill

250 g pure Skyr
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp mustard
1 tsp coarse sea salt
1 pinch of ground pepper


Preparation

In a large bowl, mix the skyr with the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, sea salt and pepper.

Carefully cut the white cabbage into very, very thin strips.

Clean the spring onion and cut into thin rings.

Wash the dill and chop it finely.

Add the cabbage, onions and dill to the bowl,...

... mix thoroughly with the dressing and leave to infuse in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours (preferably overnight).

We had the coleslaw here in the evening as a side dish for the grill.
