This isn’t your standard picnic slaw. I add lemon juice for zing, vegan mayo for creaminess, a touch of sugar for balance, and dried cranberries for a pop of sweetness and texture. It’s fresh, crunchy, and perfect for pairing with anything from burgers to brunch.
Ingredients
1 bag of shredded cabbage
3 tbsps Vegan mayonnaise (for a soy-free recipe, use mayo that is labeled as free of this allergen)
2 tbsps lemon juice
1 tsp granulated sugar
A handful of craisins (optional)
2 tbsps toasted sesame (optional)
Instructions
Place the shredded cabbage in a mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, combine the Vegenaise, lemon juice and sugar. Mix well to create a creamy, tangy dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and toss to coat all the pieces evenly. Make sure the cabbage is well-covered with dressing.
Gently fold in the cranberries and roasted sesame seeds for a burst of sweetness and a nice crunch.
Let the coleslaw sit in the fridge for 15-30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
If preferred or if this is what your pantry allows, use a whole fresh cabbage, and chop or thinly slice it.
For soy-free option, make sure to use a soy-free vegan mayonnaise.
The Latest Bite
No-Bake Pistachio Ice Cream Cake
I love ice-cream cakes, and it is so hard to find vegan ones in stores, so I knew at some point I'd want to try and whip a recipe up, but one thing that's always a factor for me is whether or not it'll be a time-consuming project or not. If I need to use my mixer, food processor or oven, it means I need to plan for more dishes and more time spent on this, and that's where I sometimes hold off on exploring and developing new recipes. I was not only aiming for an easy-to-make recipe here, but also one that requires very few ingredients and as allergen-friendly as possible. This makes it a store-in-the-freezer dessert for when I have unexpected guests, or when we are on the road and want an indulgent treat.
Made primarily from raw pistachio butter, coconut cream and almond flour, this easy no-bake cake is elemental and holds texture and flavor impressively. Compliments are guaranteed!
