What to serve with Classic Vegan Coleslaw?
Corn on the Cob
& any other summer favorites!
I used a pre-shredded coleslaw mix to make this coleslaw super easy to throw together and save time. If you want, of course you can chop your own green cabbage, red cabbage and shred a few carrots. But I like to keep things easy. 😉

Fantastic recipe! Cole Slaw is “my thing” and I’ve missed a really good version since becoming vegan. This is totally delicious – even addicting! Love it as I have all of your recipes!
That’s so great!
SOOO GOOD!
Total hit with whole family, including our 1-year-old and 3-year-old kids. I whipped up a double batch of the dressing and froze half. Combined with a Trader Joe’s bag of sliced cabbage and it wasn’t the easiest vegetable side dish. Thank you for all of the great recipes.
You’re so welcome!!
Girl, when are you opening a restaurant?! Your recipes always turn out amazingly delicious. I basically do all my meal planning from your website.
Thank you for sharing your awesome recipes with the world!

You’re so welcome! Thanks for the great comment!!
I have made this so many times. Always a big hit and so simple!
That’s so great to hear!! Thanks for the comment!
I’m new to a plant-based diet, and I can’t believe how easy and delicious it is! I made my first batch of vegan mayo (your recipe) this morning along with this cole slaw for dinner tonight. HOLY SMOKES!! It’s absolutely AMAZING! My husband said nobody would ever know it was vegan. Thank you so much for all of your outstanding recipes and tips. You’ve definitely made this transition much easier and tastier for us! Thanks!
You’re so welcome!! Thanks for the great comment!
I’ve been craving coleslaw for weeks and finally made this recipe. It was super easy to follow. Most difficult part of the recipe is waiting two hours to dig in!
I’m so glad you liked it!!
This is fabulous! I wanted something that was easy and tasty and it fit the bill nicely. I used Hellmann’s vegan mayo, btw and mixed it with broccoli slaw, cause that’s what I had on hand. I love the celery seed and the cider vinegar. It’s the perfect tangy, slightly sweet and old fashioned flavor. My boyfriend, who is neither vegetarian nor vegan,loved it! Thanks for posting!
You’re so welcome!! I’m so glad you liked it!!
Delicious!! It tasted perfect and my whole family loved it!
I’m so happy to hear that!!
Just made and it’s perfect. Wanted a “traditional” coleslaw for some vegan barbecue burgers and this is great. I have tried some of your other recipes that were great, too. Thank you.
I’m so glad you loved it!
Best coleslaw I ever had, hands down. My entire family loved it. We had vegan sausage and peppers and this slaw for Christmas. I will say, bagged slaw is not as good in recipes as fresh, crispy cabbage. I used organic red and white cabbage and added grated carrots too. I’ve made it again since Christmas! Fabulous
Thanks so much for the lovely comment! I’m glad you all enjoyed!
How long will this keep in the fridge?
It should last about 2 days.
is celery seed necessary?
No, you can leave it out if needed.
Best slaw ever!! I added julienned red and orange bell peppers and sprouted sunflower seeds. Made her vegan mayo recipe. Fantastic!
Nora this is my go-to coleslaw recipe! It comes out perfect every time!
I make this at least twice a week. We use it to top our pulled ‘pork’ tacos on taco night, and we use it in lieu of lettuce and tomato on chicken wraps. It’s perfect!
This was incredibly tasty and great, thanks so much, I have not put you in my favorites.

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
This coleslaw was classic tasting and very good, especially with the soy curl sandwich.
