Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups green cabbage
- 2 medium carrots
- 0.5 small red onion
- 0.75 cups vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon celery seed
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the green cabbage into shreds, or use a food processor to shred it. Place the cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or shred them in a food processor. Add the shredded carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Thinly slice the red onion into small slivers and add it to the mix for a pop of color and flavor.
In a separate small mixing bowl, combine the vegan mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the dressing is smooth and well blended.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Taste the coleslaw and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or a touch more vinegar if needed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish and enjoy!
