Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 cup red cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, finely shredded

Protein

  • 4 slices smoked plant-based bacon, cooked until crispy and chopped

Dressing

  • 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1/4 cup plant-based mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp mustard (natural)
  • 1 tbsp honey (natural)
  • 1/2 tsp celery seeds
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Finely shred the green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer to ensure uniform thin strips that create the perfect crunch in every bite.
  2. Cook the Plant-Based Bacon: Cook the smoked plant-based bacon in a pan over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and once cooled, roughly chop into bite-sized pieces to distribute smoky flavor evenly through the coleslaw.
  3. Make the Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar (natural), plant-based mayonnaise, mustard (natural), honey (natural), celery seeds, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper until well combined. This dressing brings a tangy and creamy harmony to the salad.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss in the chopped plant-based bacon. Mix thoroughly to ensure every vegetable shred is evenly coated with the bright, flavorful dressing.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the crisp textures to fully develop, enhancing the overall taste and crunch.

Notes

  • Chop finely for a consistent texture and an easier eating experience.
  • Lightly salt the vegetables and let them sit briefly to release excess water and avoid a watery salad.
  • Cook plant-based bacon crisp to add a satisfying textural contrast to the fresh vegetables.
  • Adjust the amount of apple cider vinegar (natural) in the dressing to suit your preferred level of tanginess.
  • Allow resting time in the fridge so the flavors can blend and intensify.
