Ingredients

• 0.5 medium head green cabbage
• 0.5 medium head red cabbage
• 2 large carrot
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 0.5 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

Remove the outer leaves of the green and red cabbages. Cut each cabbage in half, remove the core, and finely shred them using a sharp knife or food processor. Place the shredded cabbage into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moons. Add the sliced onion to the mixing bowl with the other vegetables.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mix in the large bowl. Use tongs or a large spoon to toss the vegetables and dressing together until well coated.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt, pepper, or apple cider vinegar to your preference.

Step 7

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, though it's even better if left to chill for a couple of hours.

Step 8

Serve the coleslaw cold as a side dish and enjoy your Vegan Light Coleslaw!
