This is recipe is perfect for classic coleslaw skeptics. Using crisp vegetables, like fennel, bell peppers and cucumbers, and herbs, like parsley and chives, keeps the dish light and fresh. The yogurt-based dressing also lightly coats everything without being too rich, like the mayo found more traditional coleslaw recipes.
