Description

A fresh, crunchy, and creamy plant-based coleslaw perfect for summer BBQs, featuring vibrant green and red cabbage with grated carrots, tossed in a tangy and sweet dressing made from apple cider vinegar, maple syrup (natural), and Dijon mustard (natural). This easy recipe is a versatile and colorful side dish that pairs wonderfully with grilled vegetables, plant-based burgers, kebabs, or seafood dishes.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
  • 2 cups red cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, grated

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup plant-based mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Vegetables: Start by finely shredding the green and red cabbages and grating the carrots. Aim for uniform pieces so every forkful has the perfect crunch and balance of flavors.
  2. Whisk the Dressing: In a separate bowl, combine the plant-based mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup (natural), Dijon mustard (natural), salt, black pepper, and celery seeds if using. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  3. Toss It All Together: Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and gently toss to coat everything evenly. Let the coleslaw rest for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
  4. Final Adjustments: Before serving, give the coleslaw a quick stir and taste for seasoning. Add more salt, pepper, or apple cider vinegar if desired to suit your palate.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline or food processor for even vegetable slices for best texture.
  • Allow the coleslaw to rest after tossing to soften the cabbage slightly and deepen flavors.
  • Adjust the amount of dressing to control creaminess and tartness.
  • Use fresh, crisp vegetables to maximize texture and flavor.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to serve cold and refreshing.
