Packed lunch recipe: Cheesy coleslaw with wholemeal pitta

Serves 1

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon reduced-calorie mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon low-fat Greek style yoghurt
  • 1 thin slice of white cabbage, shredded (to give a handful)

Method

Method

  1. In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise and yoghurt.
  2. Add the vegetables, cheese and parsley (if using). Mix well.
    Information: The coleslaw keeps well in the fridge so make it the evening before to help with the morning rush!
  3. Carefully split open the pitta bread and fill with the coleslaw.
    Information: Simply double the quantities if you have 2 lunchboxes to prepare.
