Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 2 large Carrots
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 0.5 small head Red cabbage
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup Vegan mayonnaise

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves of the green cabbage and cut it in half. Remove the core and finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Place shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Finely slice the red onion and red cabbage. Add these to the bowl with the other vegetables.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, salt, black pepper, and unsweetened almond milk. Mix well to create a smooth dressing.

Step 5

Add the vegan mayonnaise to the dressing mixture and whisk until all ingredients are well combined and smooth.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and use salad tongs or clean hands to mix everything thoroughly, ensuring the dressing is evenly distributed throughout the vegetables.

Step 7

Let the coleslaw sit for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is optional but recommended.

Step 8

Give the coleslaw a final toss before serving to redistribute any settled dressing. Serve chilled as a side dish or alongside your favorite vegan meal.
