The perfect summer side exists in form of coleslaw. But if you are like me and don’t like mayo, then I have a better for you mayo-less coleslaw! I have never been a fan of mayo, the consistency freaks me the f*ck out. The thought of eating a coleslaw that has been sitting out in the hot sun during a summer potluck makes me sick to my stomach! So I present you, a lighter but still creamy and delicious mayo-less coleslaw!

Key Ingredients and Substitutions:

  • Red Cabbage – I prefer red cabbage because it is prettier, however you can use green cabbage for more of a traditional slaw.
  • Carrots – I like to shred carrots by hand, but you can also buy pre shredded carrots here. You can also substitute for celery, or different color cabbage.
  • Red Onion – I love red onions in slaws for a nice crunch! Omit if you don’t like.
  • Green Apple – This adds a tart crisp crunch! Any apples work here.
  • Apple Cider Vinegar – This is the main ingredients for the creamy dressing. You can also use different vinegar of choice.
