Description

This vegan coleslaw is a creamy, tangy, and refreshing side dish perfect for summer cookouts and BBQs. Made with a homemade dressing that is both dairy-free and gluten-free, it's a healthy and flavorful alternative to traditional coleslaw. The crisp cabbage and carrot ribbons tossed with a zesty apple cider vinegar and maple syrup dressing make it irresistibly delicious and easy to prepare. It keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, making it a great make-ahead option.
