This Vegan Coleslaw is the perfect side dish. Serve it with burgers, vegan meat loaf or stuffed into a sandwich:)

A healthy bowl of coleslaw

Crunchy, tangy, “creamy” and with just enough dressing, this vegan coleslaw is a family favorite. Made with vegan mayo it’s super quick and easy to whip up. It’s just a question of a little slicing and grating. Easy if you have a food processor and not so bad if you have a sharp knife and regular grater:)

Vegan Coleslaw ingredients

Vegan Coleslaw is a great way of adding Cruciferous vegetables to you and your family’s diet. Most family members (at least mine) don’t exactly jump for joy when I tell them we’re having cabbage for dinner. It’s a different story when the cabbage is served in the guise of coleslaw. There’s rarely any left at the end of the meal:)

How do I make it?

Easy.

  1. Slice and grate the cabbage and carrots.
  2. Mix the dressing ingredients together. Taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  3. Combine the vegetables with the dressing. Toss and serve.

Can I make it in advance?

Yes.

You can make it a day in advance and store it in the fridge. I wouldn’t go any longer than that however. The mixture becomes a little less crunchy and the red cabbage tends to bleed into the other ingredients if left longer.
