Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 4 cups shredded green cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
Dressing
- 1 cup plant-based mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Finely shred the green cabbage and carrots as thin as possible to maximize dressing absorption and retain crunch. Place the shredded vegetables into a large mixing bowl ready for tossing.
- Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the plant-based mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar (natural), granulated sugar, salt, black pepper, and natural gelling agent until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined with the right tangy flavor.
- Combine and Chill: Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss gently but thoroughly to coat evenly. Refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to blend and the dressing to thicken.
Notes
- Shred cabbage and carrots thinly for best texture and flavor absorption.
- Toss the coleslaw gently to keep the vegetables crisp and prevent bruising.
- Refrigeration enhances taste and thickens the dressing perfectly.
- Adjust sugar and apple cider vinegar (natural) to match your preferred balance of sweetness and tang.
- Serve chilled to maintain freshness and a refreshing crunch.
