Ingredients

• 0.5 head green cabbage
• 0.5 head red cabbage
• 2 carrots
• 0.5 purple onion
• 0.75 cup vegan mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon celery seed
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the green cabbage and red cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline, aiming for thin, even strips. Place the cabbage slices in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or a food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Thinly slice the purple onion and add it to the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss the vegetables together until they are well mixed.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, combine the vegan mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until the dressing is smooth and well blended.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture, then use salad tongs or two large forks to toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.

Step 6

Taste the coleslaw and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to taste.

Step 7

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld and the coleslaw to chill.

Step 8

Before serving, give the coleslaw a final toss and serve cold as a side dish.
