Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 4 cups finely shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup finely shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup plain plant-based yogurt
  • 1/4 cup plant-based mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Start by finely shredding the cabbage and carrots. Thinly slice the green onions to keep their flavor fresh and bright. Combine all the vegetables in a large mixing bowl, ready for the dressing.
  2. Mix the Dressing: In a smaller bowl, whisk together the plain plant-based yogurt, plant-based mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard (natural), maple syrup (natural), salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth, creamy, and tangy.
  3. Combine and Toss: Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss thoroughly until every piece is well coated, ensuring a consistent creamy texture throughout the coleslaw.
  4. Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For an even deeper flavor, chill overnight before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh cabbage for the best crunch and texture.
  • Shred vegetables finely for a perfectly balanced bite.
  • Adjust the acidity by adding more apple cider vinegar or balance with additional maple syrup (natural) based on taste preferences.
  • Chill the coleslaw to enhance flavor harmony.
  • Toss gently to avoid bruising the delicate vegetables.
