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
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 - Add the mayo, celery seed, sugar and salt.
Step Two - Add in the lemon juice.
Step Three - Mix well and taste to see if anything needs adjusted.
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?
