A quick and easy dairy-free coleslaw featuring a creamy avocado mayo dressing that is fresh, tangy, and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
  • 2 cups red cabbage, finely shredded
  • 2 medium carrots, grated
  • 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 medium ripe avocado
  • ¼ cup dairy-free mayonnaise (e.g., Just Mayo or Vegenaise)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or agave nectar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Finely shred the green and red cabbage using a mandoline slicer or sharp chef’s knife and place in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Peel and grate two medium carrots and add to the bowl.
  3. Thinly slice three stalks of green onions, including the green tops, and add to the bowl.
  4. Roughly chop ¼ cup fresh parsley and add to the bowl.
  5. In a blender or food processor, combine the peeled and pitted avocado, dairy-free mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, Dijon mustard, and maple syrup or agave nectar.
  6. Blend until the dressing is silky smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Pour the creamy avocado mayo dressing over the shredded vegetables and gently fold together using a spatula or large spoon until all veggies are coated.
  8. Optionally, cover and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and veggies to soften slightly without losing crunch.
  9. Before serving, stir the coleslaw again and adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

Use ripe but firm avocados for best dressing texture. Add dressing gradually to avoid soggy slaw. Chill for at least 30 minutes for best flavor. If avocado is underripe, add a tablespoon of olive oil to the dressing. Leftovers keep for 2-3 days refrigerated; stir in lemon juice before serving again to brighten flavors.
