Crisp, colorful, and completely plant-based, this Vegan Cole Slaw is the perfect guilt-free addition to your next meal. Featuring a vibrant blend of shredded green and purple cabbage, sweet carrots, and a creamy dressing made with vegan mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of maple syrup, this slaw strikes the perfect balance of tangy, sweet, and savory. A hint of Dijon mustard and celery seeds adds subtle depth, while a quick 15-minute prep time makes it an effortless side dish or sandwich topping. Perfect for summer barbecues, potlucks, or any time you crave a refreshing, dairy-free alternative to traditional coleslaw, this recipe serves six and is best enjoyed chilled for optimal flavor.
Shred the green cabbage and purple cabbage using a sharp knife, mandoline slicer, or food processor until thinly sliced. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Add the shredded carrots to the mixing bowl with the cabbage.
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the vegan mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables in the large bowl.
Using tongs or salad forks, toss the cole slaw until all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste the cole slaw and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a pinch more salt or pepper to taste.
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate the cole slaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the cole slaw chilled as a side dish or topping. Enjoy!
