Crunchy Vegan Coleslaw (with walnuts and pumpkin seeds!)
Description
The Crunchy Vegan Coleslaw blends two types of cabbage with shredded carrots and scallions to provide a crisp and colorful base. The addition of chopped walnuts and pumpkin seeds (pepitas) introduces pleasant textural contrast and nutty notes. The dressing is made from non-dairy yogurt and white wine vinegar, delivering a mild creaminess and acidity that lightly envelop the vegetables without overwhelming them.
This coleslaw's flavor is bright and fresh, supported by the natural sweetness of the carrots and the earthiness of the seeds and nuts. The simple seasoning with salt and pepper allows the ingredients to shine. Preparation is straightforward with no cooking required, preserving the crisp bite of the vegetables.
It serves well as a side to a variety of dishes or as a topping for sandwiches and wraps. The recipe also supports making the components ahead, combining the dressing just before serving to keep the textures at their best.
