Coleslaw is a summer favorite and I made a version without any animal products. My coleslaw takes just a few minutes to prepare and will keep well in the fridge for a week or more in an airtight container. This coleslaw is light and extremely enjoyable.
I created the recipe out of the need to finish some cabbage that I had in my refrigerator one week. Coleslaw came to mind and I searched for healthy, plant-based recipes for coleslaw. I came across no recipes online that fit my standards so I decided to mix and match parts of various recipes to suit my desires and equipment available. The first time I ate my Colorful Coleslaw I thought it was good. A few days later I thought it was even better! If you have enough patience to allow the coleslaw to marinate in the fridge for a few days you will be rewarded. If you can’t, you will still enjoy yourself nonetheless.
Recipe:
You may be surprised to find a coleslaw recipe that is not creamy (and full of mayonnaise or fat) but I dare you to give this one a try. Allowing the coleslaw to marinate for 24 hours or more allows the flavor to develop and enhance. Colorful Coleslaw is perfect for taking to a picnic, potluck or to the lake on a warm day.
