Dairy-Free Coleslaw

Fresh and creamy dairy-free coleslaw is the perfect addition to any summer meal. I’ll be honest—I’m not usually a big coleslaw person, and neither is my family, but we actually loved this recipe. I don’t always trust restaurant versions to be totally dairy-free, so making my own is a must.

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine all of your ingredients for the dressing and thoroughly mix until everything is combined.
  • Add in your slaw mix to the dressing and toss everything until the dressing thoroughly coats the slaw.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the dressing to develop stronger flavors and serve cold!

Notes

  • Use a slaw mix with carrots and purple cabbage for a colorful presentation
  • Try mixing in chopped fresh herbs like parsley or dill, shredded apples for sweetness, or a handful of sunflower seeds for crunch. It’s a great base recipe to build on.
