Recipe:
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 0 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/2 head of green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 2 large carrots, grated
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
For the Vegan Coleslaw Dressing:
- 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh dill, for garnish
Method:
1. Begin by prepping your fresh produce. Thinly slice half a head of crisp green cabbage, grate 2 large carrots, and finely slice half a red onion. Place them in a large mixing bowl, ready for the vegan coleslaw transformation.
2. In a smaller bowl, craft the heart of this vegan recipe—the tangy coleslaw dressing. Whisk together a creamy blend of 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon each of apple cider vinegar and Dijon mustard, and a sweet touch of maple syrup.
3. Elevate the dressing with a sprinkle of 1/2 teaspoon celery seed, and a dash of salt and pepper, catering to the plant-based palate with a balance of flavors.
4. Drizzle the vibrant dressing over your bed of vegetables. With a gentle toss, coat the cabbage, carrots, and onion until they are beautifully unified in flavor, creating a visually stunning vegan dip.
5. Allow the coleslaw to chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour. This crucial step lets the ingredients marry and intensify, resulting in a coleslaw that's both refreshing and rich in taste.
6. Just before serving, garnish with fresh dill to introduce an aromatic freshness, completing this lacto-vegetarian favorite with a flourish.
Additional Tips:
For added crunch, throw in some toasted slivered almonds or sunflower seeds.
If you prefer a little heat, add a dash of cayenne pepper to the dressing.
