This is my healthy vegan take on an all-time classic, coleslaw! It’s creamy, crunchy, and perfect for warm weather BBQs.  This recipe only requires 6 ingredients, all of which are pretty common staples in most households.

I’ve made this recipe with vegan mayo before, however, that’s not something I regularly keep in my frig. Avocados, on the other hand, now that’s another story. I almost always have an avocado or two ripening on the counter. This creates that delicious creamy texture you know and love from traditional coleslaw.

Eat the coleslaw as a snack, carry it on a picnic, put on top of your favorite veggie burger, or my new personal favorite, jackfruit BBQ!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 head of small purple or green cabbage, chopped (yields roughly 3 cups)
• 1/2 avocado
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1/4 c scallions, chopped
• 1/4 loosely packed carrots, chopped or grated
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

• Add avocado to a small bowl and mash with a fork. Add in apple cider vinegar and Dijon mustard. Stir well.
• Place chopped cabbage, scallions, and carrots in a large bowl. Pour dressing on top and toss well, getting the vegetables well coated.
• Serve alone, over jackfruit bbq or other vegan burger, or as a side dish.
