Vegan Cole Slaw

Vegan Cole Slaw

I came into possession of some vegan mayonnaise. I was skeptical at first but the stuff turned out to be really really good. Made with all the usual ingredients, the only thing different is the vegan mayo. It makes up to a huge bowl of Cole slaw for potluck. As with fresh made Cole Slaw, if you set it in the fridge overnight you may get some settling of the thinner parts of the dressing in the bottom of the bowl. Just toss it all again or pour off any water that settles and it’ll be great.

Dressing Ingredients:

• 1 ¼ cup Vegannaise (vegan mayonnaise)
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons cider or red wine vinegar
• ¼ teaspoon celery seed
• ½ teaspoon season salt or Creole seasoning
• Salt to taste
• 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice

Slaw Ingredients:

- ½ head of green cabbage
- ½ head of purple cabbage
- 3 cups grated carrots.

Directions:

1. Chop both cabbages
2. Grate the carrots
3. Toss with dressing in a large sealable bowl
4. Refrigerate in a sealed bowl until ready to use.

Once again it's so good we ate half of it before I thought,

better than twice that much Cole slaw.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

Put the Cole slaw in a big Tupperware bowl, seal and store in the fridge overnight so it's nice and cold for potluck on Sabbath. Just before you serve it, pour the Ramen noodles into the slaw and give it a good toss.
