Classic Vegan Coleslaw

My Vegan Coleslaw is a classic recipe, with few ingredients. It’s a quick and easy vegan coleslaw full of crunchy cabbage, apples and the best creamy, tangy dressing. Perfect for your next Bbq or potluck!

I grew up eating this coleslaw – well a version of it anyways. I’ve kicked it up a couple of notches and of course made it dairy free and egg free. It is an excellent vegan slaw recipe and super satisfying. There is no need to ever buy Coleslaw. Homemade is so much better!

I chop all the veggies for this recipe but of course if you’re feeling rushed for time you could just use the bagged Coleslaw. Fresh is definitely better though.?

There’s an interesting and tasty addition to this cabbage salad that isn’t really classic so to speak… it’s chopped apples!! My Mom always added them to her coleslaw, so to me it is ‘classic’.

I think the apples are the key. I love the sweet crunch they give. Tie it all together with the dressing and veggies and you’ve got yourself one delicious salad! And healthy too. Bonus!

Another great optional addition is sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. So TASTY! If I have some I will usually throw them in. They add a whole extra flavour element and a nutty crunch.

My dressing is simple with only a few ingredients but packs a lot of flavour. I make it with vegan mayonnaise (vegenaise) spices, apple cider vinegar, little sugar or maple syrup and pickle juice. Yup you heard me! haha.

Pickle juice was the main dressing ingredient for our coleslaw when I was a kid, and it works like a charm for that perfect sour, tart flavour.

To make Classic Vegan Coleslaw:

Thinly slice the green and red cabbage, grate your carrots and chop your parsley, green onions and apple and add them to a large bowl. Mix in the dressing (and seeds if using) and serve! For full ingredients and instructions see recipe card below.

Perfect combination of crunchy, sweet, tangy and creamy!! You have to make this coleslaw, your taste buds will thank you!

Enjoy as a side salad with my Awesome Vegan Burger or Vegan tuna Sandwiches! It’s also great served with fries, wraps, or stuffed in tacos or burritos.

This Coleslaw will keep in the fridge for 3-5 days.
