Vegan Coleslaw

May 12, 2020 by Louise

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

You’re probably thinking how on earth do you make a Vegan coleslaw? No Mayonnaise? I thought the exact same thing but let me tell you, this coleslaw is simply delicious. Instead of mayonnaise, we use a creamy cashew nut dressing with all sorts of sweet and tangy ingredients. Eating coleslaw has never been more exciting!!

Start by preparing the dressing as you’ll have to soak the cashew nuts for at least 40 minutes in boiling hot water or in cool water overnight. This is what will make them super creamy so don’t rush this part. Once you’ve made the dressing, you just toss it together with carrots and cabbage and top with diced red onion, spring onions (not essential but it makes it look extra pretty!) and a few baby spinach leaves.

Yumminess all the way!
