Ingredients

• 4 cups, shredded Green cabbage
• 2 cups, shredded Red cabbage
• 2 large, peeled and shredded Carrots
• 0.5 cup, thinly sliced Red onion
• 0.75 cup Vegan mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Celery seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots. Add the thinly sliced red onion and toss everything together to mix thoroughly.

Step 2

In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and celery seeds until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Season the dressing with salt and black pepper to taste, then whisk again to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss gently to coat all the vegetables evenly with the dressing.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften slightly.

Step 6

Before serving, give the coleslaw a good toss and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or a splash more of vinegar if needed.

Step 7

Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish.
