Vegan Coleslaw Recipe with Apple, Carrots and Corn
Description
The Vegan Coleslaw with Apple, Carrots, and Corn features shredded cabbage and grated carrots as its base, providing a crunchy and fresh texture. Crisp apple sticks add a juicy bite and subtle sweetness that complements the sweetness of canned corn. Caramelizing diced sweet onion in oil enhances the dish with a mild savory richness. The dressing, made by dissolving brown sugar in soy sauce, ties the ingredients together with a balanced sweet and salty flavor.
The dressing coats the vegetables after combining, and allowing the coleslaw to rest for 30 minutes to an hour softens the cabbage slightly while preserving some crunch. This resting period also melds the flavors, making the salad more cohesive.
To speed preparation, pre-shredded cabbage can be used, and apples can be soaked in lemon juice to prevent browning if made ahead. This coleslaw offers a plant-based, layered salad suitable as a side or light dish, highlighting fresh vegetables with a savory-sweet dressing.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon of oil
- 1 sweet onion diced
- 3 handfuls purple cabbage or green cabbage, shredded
- 3 handfuls carrot grated
- ¾ apple cut into sticks, large
- 1 can sweet corn drained
- 1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar
- ¼ cup soy sauce
Instructions
- In a small pan over medium-high heat, heat oil. Saute onion until caramelized, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, toss together cabbage, carrots, apple, and corn.
- Dissolve sugar in soy sauce then toss into veggies along with the onion.
Notes
- Using a food processor can save time when shredding cabbage and grating carrots.
- Pre-shredded cabbage from the store works well for convenience.
- Soaking cut apple sticks in lemon juice prevents browning if preparing in advance.
- Allow the coleslaw to sit for 30 to 60 minutes to soften the cabbage and enhance flavor melding.
