Vegan Fresh Coleslaw
Crisp, colorful, and seriously refreshing, this coleslaw brings together shredded green and red cabbage, grated carrots, and sliced green onion tops for a slaw that looks as good as it tastes. The dressing is where the magic happens — vegan mayonnaise forms the creamy base, while apple cider vinegar adds tang, maple syrup brings a gentle sweetness, and Dijon mustard ties it all together with a little kick. A pinch of celery seed gives it that classic deli-style depth you'd expect from a really well-made slaw. Traditional coleslaw dressings rely on eggs and sometimes honey, but this version swaps those out seamlessly without sacrificing any of the richness or flavor. After a quick 20-minute rest in the fridge, the cabbage softens just enough and the flavors meld into something genuinely craveable. A scatter of fresh parsley before serving adds a bright, herby finish that makes it feel a little extra special. It makes six servings, so it's perfect for cookouts, weeknight dinners, or meal-prepped lunches throughout the week.
