Vegan coleslaw is the perfect summer side
Pepper
4 cups thinly sliced green cabbage (about 1/4 large head)
1 cup shredded carrot (about 1 large carrot)
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1. Whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, maple syrup, salt and a pinch of pepper in a large bowl.
2. Add cabbage, carrot and green onions; toss well to coat evenly.
Tasty tips
--If you don't have a sharp knife or food processor, slicing cabbage thinly can be tricky. Instead, shred it using a large holed grater.
--Instead of sliced cabbage, you can substitute with a bag of coleslaw mix.
--For extra crunch, add a 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds.
--The dressing might not seem like enough at first, but let it sit for a few minutes. The cabbage will soften slightly, release its natural water and loosen the dressing.
