    Crisp, refreshing coleslaw made without dairy. The perfect compliment side dish to your BBQ sandwiches or tacos! It also only takes 5 minutes to make so it's ready any time you need a quick side!

    There's just something amazing about a creamy coleslaw paired with a sloppy BBQ sandwich of some sort. Long ago it used to be the "p" word, but these days I love having this coleslaw with one of my thick BBQ soy curl sandwiches.

    Another way I enjoy this slaw is shoved inside of a tortilla with some vegan fish, crisp lettuce, tomatoes and maybe some gaucamole!

    I bet you wanna make this now, don't you?

    Ingredients

    coleslaw ingredients with text labels.

    I am using a pre-cut mixed bag of coleslaw that I bought from the store for this recipe, but you are welcome to slice up a head of cabbage fresh.

    I am using vinegar for this recipe, but you can use lemon juice

    Please see recipe card for exact quantities.

    🥘Instructions

    step one adding ingredients to bowl.

    Step One - Add the mayo, celery seed, sugar and salt.

    step two adding lemon juice to bowl.

    Step Two - Add in the lemon juice.

    step three stirring everything together.

    Step Three - Mix well and taste to see if anything needs adjusted.

    step four adding cabbage mix and completeing.

    Step Four - Add in the cabbage coleslaw mix and fold it into the mayo dressing.

    👩🏻‍🍳Top Tip
    While this recipe can be an easy 5 minute one and done and eaten right away, it truly is more flavorful after marinating a little while. If you can help it, let it sit in the refrigerator from 4 hours to over night.

    🍱Storage

    Refrigerator - Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. The coleslaw will get watery and the purple cabbage may bleed into the sauce and cause it to discolor.

    Freezer - Do not freeze this recipe. Cabbage does not freeze well to use in regular dishes. Maybe for stock, though?
