Vegan Coleslaw Recipe with Apple, Carrots and Corn

This vegan coleslaw combines shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and crisp apple sticks with sweet corn for a refreshing crunch. The caramelized sweet onion adds a depth of flavor, while the brown sugar and soy sauce dressing brings a balanced sweet and savory taste. It's a vibrant, textured salad that softens slightly when allowed to sit, making it a suitable side dish with a natural sweetness and satisfying vegetable mix.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon of oil
  • 1 sweet onion diced
  • 3 handfuls purple cabbage or green cabbage, shredded

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small pan over medium-high heat, heat oil. Saute onion until caramelized, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, toss together cabbage, carrots, apple, and corn.
  3. 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.
