Super crunchy and sweet Poppyseed Coleslaw, perfect for summer barbecues!
Don’t you just love a summer BBQ? A plant-based BBQ that is. Corn on the cob, macaroni salad, veggie burgers and of course- coleslaw!
This unique version of coleslaw is much healthier than it’s fattening mayo (distant) cousin. It’s vegan, gluten free, and the golden raisins give it an extra-added sweetness. And it’s also really pretty and full of color.
How to make this Poppyseed Coleslaw:
To start, prepare and chop your veggies. Then, add the cabbage, carrots, green onions, golden raisins, and mint to an extra large bowl. Stir to combine.
Then in a small bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients and stir with a whisk to combine. When ready to serve, pour dressing over salad and stir to combine.
This recipe for Poppyseed Coleslaw makes about 6 cups, or 12 (1/2 cup) servings.
This coleslaw salad is excellent for potlucks and will stay fresh for up to 2 days in the fridge.
If you’re making in advance, I would recommend keeping the sauce separate from the veggies. Mix together before serving. And don’t forget to check out the nutritional value below. It’s deliciously guilt free!
