Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 4 cups finely shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup finely shredded carrots

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup plant-based mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons natural sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Start by finely shredding the green cabbage and carrots. Consistent thin slices will create that signature tender crunch found in Chick-Fil-A Coleslaw, making every bite delightful.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a mixing bowl, combine the plant-based mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, onion powder, salt, pepper, and a touch of natural gelling agent. Whisk well until smooth and thickened to a beautiful creamy consistency.
  3. Combine and Chill: Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss everything thoroughly to coat all the pieces evenly. For the best flavor, cover and refrigerate the coleslaw for at least an hour before serving.
  4. Final Taste and Adjust: Before serving, taste the coleslaw and adjust the seasoning if needed, whether more apple cider vinegar for tang or extra sugar for sweetness.

Notes

  • Always use fresh vegetables for the best crunch and flavor.
  • Let the coleslaw rest in the fridge to allow flavors to meld deliciously.
  • Gently toss to avoid breaking down the cabbage, maintaining crispness.
  • Adjust vinegar and sugar gradually to suit your taste perfectly.
  • Use plant-based mayonnaise for creaminess without overpowering the fresh vegetable tastes.
  • Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Coleslaw does not freeze well due to its fresh vegetable content.
  • Serve chilled for maximum freshness and crunch.
