Servings: 10
Calories: 106kcal
Ingredients
- 6 cups cabbage green and red optional (5 cups green, 1 cup red)
- 2 medium carrots peeled and shredded
- ½ cup vegan mayo
- ½ cup vegan yoghurt
- 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 and ½ tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon ground celery seed or ¾ teaspoon celery salt (omit any added salt if you are using celery salt)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅓ cup chopped parsley optional
Instructions
- Quarter the cabbage through the core and then cut out the core. Lay each quarter a flat side and slice thinly in to fine shreds.
- Add the shredded cabbage, carrots and parsley (optional) to a large salad bowl.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, yoghurt, mustard, sugar, apple cider vinegar celery seeds and salt and pepper.
- Add ½ to ⅔ of the dressing to the shredded cabbage and work it in with clean hands or a big old spoon. If the coleslaw is a little dry, add more dressing.
- Leave the coleslaw to rest for an hour before serving. Keep any remaining dressing aside to add later if needed. Store the coleslaw in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
Notes
Nutritional breakdown based on 10 side serves.
Coleslaw is great with dishes with robust, rich flavours. Try it with my BBQ Black Bean Burger, a Jackfruit Burger or my easy Vegan Shawarma.
Celery seeds: if you can't find celery seeds, you can use celery salt. If you use celery salt, don't add the salt list in the recipe.
Tips
Tip 1: it's worth the effort to hunt down a good vegan yoghurt for this recipe. The salad is creamy and wonderful but doesn't coat your tongue the way mayonnaise can. I use Cocobella natural yoghurt here in Australia.
Tip 2: shred your cabbage in to bite-ish size pieces if you can...just makes the coleslaw easier to eat.
Tip 3: add the dressing in batches so that you can control how "wet" it is. While coleslaw is supposed to be creamy, you still want to enjoy the raw vegetables.
Tip 4: leave the salad to sit for at least an hour to soften and work its magic.
