Cookbook author and co-host of Food Network's "The Kitchen" Katie Lee Biegel shares her quick and easy, make-ahead kale slaw tossed with cabbage, carrots, sunflower seeds + a creamy mayo-yogurt dressing. It’s great for breakfast, lunch or dinner with her Baked Chicken Legs. 

"By now you probably know my affection for kale. I really can't get enough of it. This coleslaw started as a kale salad when I was cooking for a group and wanted to make a salad but didn't have enough kale. I cut it with a head of cabbage and then got the idea to do coleslaw. Using half mayonnaise and half Greek yogurt helps to lighten it up a bit while still giving it that wonderfully rich mayonnaise taste." —Katie
