This Vegan Coleslaw recipe is a classic summer dish that’s perfect for parties, potlucks, and just everyday meals. Great on it’s own or topped on sandwiches! Super easy and ready in 10 minutes!
It’s great paired with my Jackfruit BBQ Sandwiches, these Portobello Mushroom Burgers OR my incredible Veggie Burger recipe.
Summer recipes are my all time favorite recipes to create so now that the days are getting longer and the weather is really warming up, I’ve had so much fun in the kitchen lately. I have a lot of great summer dishes planned for the next few months (including a summer edition of cocktail week!) so get EXCITED!
Admittedly, coleslaw isn’t exactly a summer recipe but it feels like it to me. Every summer get together and BBQ that I attend seems to have coleslaw and I’m never sad about it :) Knowing my typical audience, I figured that you *might* be in the need of an easy vegan coleslaw recipe this summer so let’s do it.
Ingredients needed:
The full written recipe is down in the recipe card!
- Coleslaw mix – I love the ease of using a mix that’s ready to go but if you want, you can also make your own by shredding carrots and cabbage together. I really like a mix of both green and red cabbage.
- Vegan mayo – this is the base of the coleslaw dressing.
- Maple syrup – for a touch of sweetness
- Apple cider vinegar – this adds a nice tanginess that we all love in coleslaw.
- Lemon juice – for some extra acidity
- Salt and pepper – to taste
Of course! I love the simplicity of the coleslaw mixes and I hate always having leftover cabbage that often doesn’t get used. However, you can certainly make your own mix by simply shredding carrots, red cabbage, and green cabbage.
You can try substituting the mayo for vegan yogurt (make sure it’s unflavored) or even a vegan sour cream. I’ve never tried it but I think hummus would also be an interesting substitution!
You can certainly make this vegan coleslaw ahead of time- it’s a great way to save time when prepping for a party! HOWEVER, I suggest keeping the dressing separate until you’re ready to enjoy the coleslaw.

Vegan Coleslaw Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 package of coleslaw mix, roughly 14 ounces
- ½ cup vegan mayo
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- salt to taste, I like to add more salt depending on how salty the mayo is
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mayo, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Add in the coleslaw mix and stir until everything is coated in the coleslaw dressing.
- Serve right away and store leftovers in the fridge. This doesn’t keep for long and if you’re planning to make it for a party, I suggest waiting to mix everything together until soon before serving. ENJOY!
