No Mayo Spicy Slaw

Many store-bought coleslaws contain high amounts of sugar and fat. If you're looking for a healthy side dish that won't derail your diet, then its time to make your own coleslaw at home!

When it comes to buying groceries, sometimes it's tempting to opt for convenience over health. But there's a better way - by learning how to make your favourite meals from scratch you can save money and prevent unnecessary calories, fat, and sugar from creeping into your daily diet!


Homemade coleslaw is a great choice if you're looking for a healthier side dish that won't get you off track of your healthy eating goals. This version is oil-free and low-fat by using oat yogurt for a creamy dairy-free dressing that's packed with flavour. The shredded veggies and carrots are tossed in a spicy sauce for an addictive flavour that will have everyone coming back for more!


Making your own coleslaw is a great way to cut down on unhealthy processed foods and make something you can be proud of. Not to mention, homemade coleslaw is usually healthier than store-bought because its fresh and you can control the ingredients. The vegetable oil in most store bought coleslaw mixes is high in saturated fat that can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. In addition, since many pre-made coleslaws contain mayonnaise whether vegan mayo is used or not it is still high in unhealthy and unnecessary fat calories.


This coleslaw recipe is also better for diabetes prevention and management than other oil-based versions found in stores. We know that diseases such as diabetes are caused by a variety of factors, including diet, exercise, genetics and lifestyle habits. Since this recipe contains little to no fat, it's the perfect choice for maintaining a healthy diet and managing conditions like diabetes.


Homemade coleslaw is one of the easiest and most delicious side salads that you can make at home. Not only is it delicious, but it is also very healthy. The great thing about this recipe is that you can make it exactly how you like it without adding any nasty chemicals or preservatives. All you need is a good food processor or a good knife and you're good to go! Traditional coleslaw uses mayonnaise in its dressing, but you can easily replace it with a plain flavoured unsweetened dairy-free yogurt for a healthier alternative.



This homemade coleslaw is made oil-free, making it a healthier choice, as often store-brought salad dressings are high in fat and calories, so it's best to avoid them altogether. This version is light and refreshing and features bold flavors like red onion, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce. It's the perfect side dish for your backyard vegan barbecue or homemade buddha bowls!


No Mayo Spicy Slaw Recipe


Making your own coleslaw is simple and can save you a lot of time and money in the long run. Plus, it's easy to customize based on your taste preferences. This coleslaw recipe uses oat yogurt instead of mayo to create a delicious dressing that will pair perfectly with your burger or buddha bowl! The health benefits of eating more vegetables cannot be overstated! So, what are you waiting for? It's time to make some delicious and healthy coleslaw at home. 

Serves 6

INGREDIENTS

For the slaw:
  • 1/2 a red cabbage, roughly 500g
  • 2 large carrots
  • 1 red onion

For the dressing:
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened yogurt, I used oat yogurt
  • 1 tbsp good quality Djion mustard
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • optional for extra spice add 1 tbsp of your favourite hot sauce

METHOD
  1. Prepare all the slaw ingredients by washing, and peeling, slicing as necessary ready for the food processor.
  2. Using the grate attachment on your food processor, push through the carrots until they are finely shredded and sliced.
  3. Then switch to your slice attachment and press through your red cabbage and red onion.
  4. Alternatively you can slice and grate your vegetables by hand. 
  5. Next mix your dressing in a bowl or add to a jar and shake.
  6. Add in your spicy sauce to your prepared vegetables and toss to combine. Be sure to taste test and add any additional seasonings if necessary
  7. Transfer to a large airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Keep leftovers covered in the fridge and use within 3 days
