Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 small head Red cabbage
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Vegan mayonnaise
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the green cabbage and cut it in half. Remove the core and finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Place shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or a food processor. Add the grated carrots to the mixing bowl with the cabbage.
Finely slice the red onion and red cabbage. Add these to the bowl with the other vegetables.
In a separate small bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, salt, black pepper, and unsweetened almond milk. Mix well to create a smooth dressing.
Add the vegan mayonnaise to the dressing mixture and whisk until all ingredients are well combined and smooth.
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and use salad tongs or clean hands to mix everything thoroughly, ensuring the dressing is evenly distributed throughout the vegetables.
Let the coleslaw sit for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is optional but recommended.
Give the coleslaw a final toss before serving to redistribute any settled dressing. Serve chilled as a side dish or alongside your favorite vegan meal.
