Mayo-Free Coleslaw
Description
The coleslaw combines thinly sliced green and red cabbages with freshly grated carrot and chopped green onions, creating a mixture rich in crunch and color. Optional sliced or chopped raw almonds can be added to introduce extra texture and subtle nuttiness.
The dressing is prepared from avocado oil and lemon juice or rice vinegar for acidity, balanced with a touch of pure maple syrup for mild sweetness, minced garlic, and dried herbs like oregano and parsley. Seasoned with onion powder, black pepper, and sea salt, it provides a flavorful alternative to traditional mayonnaise-based dressings. The combination brightens the raw vegetables while leaving the crisp texture intact.
Mixing the coleslaw with the dressing just before serving ensures freshness and optimal flavor. The dressing's flavors deepen if made ahead and refrigerated, allowing the slaw to be a convenient make-ahead side dish for grilled fare or sandwiches.

Instructions
- How to Make Coleslaw Dressing: Add the ingredients for the dressing to a bowl (or blend in a small blender) and whisk very well until combined. Refrigerate until ready to use. Note: the dressing itself becomes even more flavorful over time, so feel free to make it a few days in advance!
