Vegan Coleslaw

Here in Spain many people make almost the same salad, using almost the same ingredients: Iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, olives and one or two veggies more at most. I used to make this salad every single day and now I understand why I didn’t like salads. There are so many ingredients available, so why do we use the same ingredients over and over again? I try to use seasonal produce and make colorful salads every day.

This was the first time I made this recipe and I loved it! I made my own dressing, but it’s common to use vegan mayonnaise or a simple vinaigrette. Some people add pineapple too, although I thought I couldn’t spiralize it, that’s why I didn’t add it.

Although to make coleslaw you just need to chop the veggies and make the dressing, I thought I could use my Spiralizer instead of a knife and it’s awesome! The veggies are chopped much faster and the Spiralizer is so easy to use. If you don’t have one, don’t worry, just use a knife and a cutting board.

You can see how I “spiralized” the veggies in the pictures below:

Tips:

If you’re going to use the Spiralizer:

• Medium heads of cabbage are easier to spiralize than the big ones.
• Big carrots work better.
• You don’t have to core the apples, although you should remove the stems.
• Apples turn brown so fast, so you can add lemon juice to prevent oxidation or just spiralize them just before serving.
• To spiralize the cabbages I used the blade that has no triangular blades.
• To spiralize the carrots and the apples you can use any other blade (I used the blade that has the smaller triangular blades).

To make this vegan coleslaw I spiralized the veggies instead of chop them and I’m so happy! Spiralize veggies are so easy and the salad tasted so good!
