Simple Vegan Coleslaw

I want to put this sauce on everything!

Coleslaw is one of the few things I missed after switching to a vegan diet! I’ve tried countless vegan coleslaws at restaurants, but for some reason, I never found one that really tasted like the coleslaw I used to eat. Finally, when I decided to make BBQ shredded tofu, I needed a coleslaw recipe to complete the sandwich. What I discovered: I’ve been missing out! This coleslaw tastes just like what I used to eat, if not better. I was over the moon when I first tried the sauce, and I honestly want to put it on everything, not just cabbage and carrots!

I cut a corner and bought a bag of a premade coleslaw veggie mix, but it’s quite simple to make, even if you chop your own veggies!

Ingredients:

• 1 14 oz bag of coleslaw mix – shredded carrots, green cabbage, and red cabbage
• OR
• 4-5 cups green cabbage, shredded
• 2 cups red cabbage, shredded
• 1 cup carrots, shredded

Sauce:

• 3/4 cup vegan mayo
• 1 tbsp dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• salt & pepper

Method:

• If you’re not using a prepared coleslaw mix, chop the carrots and cabbage into shreds.
• Add the veggies to a large mixing bowl.
• Whisk the mayo, mustard, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl until combined.
• Pour the dressing over the veggies and stir to combine until thoroughly coated. Season with salt and pepper, taste, and adjust flavors as needed.
• Let the coleslaw sit in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving.
• Serve in a sandwich with my BBQ shredded tofu, in tacos, spring rolls, hot dogs, or by itself! Enjoy & share.
