• Gluten-free, keto-friendly, low-carb, dairy-free, vegan, soy-free, nut-free and refined sugar-free.

What ingredients are needed to make Vegan Coleslaw?

• Coleslaw mix or thinly sliced/shredded green and red cabbage, and carrots.

Top Tips for Making Vegan Coleslaw

1. Good Mayo!

   A good quality vegan mayonnaise makes a difference. I really love Thrive Market’s brand of vegan mayo. If you can’t get it, I recommend looking for one with similar ingredients!

2. Vegan Keto or Low Carb Coleslaw

   Even with the addition of a tiny bit of coconut sugar, this vegan coleslaw recipe is still considered keto or low-carb, but it will still be equally delicious if you omit the sugar altogether, or make it sugar-free with the addition of a sugar-free sweetener such as this one.

Common Recipe Questions

1. How long does this vegan coleslaw keep?

   This coleslaw can be enjoyed straight away or refrigerated until ready to serve. I do find it to grow even creamier after some time in the refrigerator. To store, place the coleslaw in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to one week.

What can I serve coleslaw with?

• BBQ Veggie Burgers.

• Potatoes.

• Fritters.

• Bean dishes.

• Sandwiches.

• Bread.

• Cornbread.

• Chili.

• Mac & Cheese.
