Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup grated carrots
Dressing
- 1/2 cup plant-based mayo
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Start by shredding fresh cabbage finely and grating the carrots until they’re just the right size for an ideal crunch and balance. Rinse the cabbage briefly under cold water for extra crispness, then drain thoroughly to avoid sogginess.
- Make the Dressing: In a mixing bowl, combine plant-based mayo, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and the sugar has dissolved completely, creating a creamy and tangy dressing.
- Combine Vegetables and Dressing: Pour the dressing over the shredded cabbage and carrots. Gently toss everything together until every strand is coated evenly, paying attention not to crush the cabbage to keep it crisp.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully. Serve chilled for the best texture and taste.
Notes
- Use fresh produce for the best texture and flavor.
- Chilling the coleslaw enhances flavor development and keeps it refreshing.
- Toss gently to avoid bruising the cabbage, which can release excess moisture and make the slaw watery.
- Adjust apple cider vinegar incrementally to reach your preferred tanginess.
- Make the coleslaw a day ahead to enhance flavor and save time.
