THE BEST VEGAN COLESLAW

Vegan Coleslaw

The Best Vegan Classic Coleslaw

I am very aware that saying this is THE BEST VEGAN COLESLAW may be overzealous but my goodness, I have made A LOT of Coleslaw over the past few months.

For the longest time, I was only making vinegar based coleslaws because we were putting it on top of Vegan Burgers with BBQ Sauce. To me, the tanginess balanced out the sweet & spicy of the BBQ sauce.

Then, my in-laws visited us

Unaware at the time, I made one of my vinegar based coleslaws to go with burgers & corn on the cob–my father-in-law is already not much of a coleslaw fan but really not a fan of vinegar based ones. (fail–sad face)

Since then, I have been working on a more “classic” recipe. You know, the kind that has some sugar in it, lots of mayo & very little vinegar.

Lucky For You, I Have It Figured Out!

Don’t get me wrong I still LOVE a vinegar based coleslaw, but lately with us being in the midst of summer, I am hooked on making THIS Classic Version to go with BBQ’s.

Notes

:: For the BEST results :: Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. You can make this the night before but in my opinion, it tastes fresher the day of.
