The Mayo-Free Dressing
Traditionally, coleslaw is made with mayo and while that’s real good sometimes, other times Justin and I like a lighter version. It just feels like the mayo can drown out the other flavors, and we really love it when all the flavors and textures come through. This healthy coleslaw dressing is made with olive oil, lemon juice and some simple seasonings. It’s pretty basic, but super tasty and goes well with just about anything.
All The Veggies
We used a combination of purple and green cabbage for this healthy coleslaw mostly because it looks prettier, but the purple cabbage is also easier on your gut than green cabbage, so it’s nice to have a combination of the two since cabbage can cause some people a little bloat and gas. We also used carrots and added jicama, which is a pretty fun ingredient! We love the crisp and slightly sweet flavor paired with the other ingredients. If you can’t find jicama, you could substitute with your favorite kind of apple.
Meal Prep Once + Eat All Week
It’s true! We love to get a little meal prep out of the way over the weekend to make the work week that much easier. It’s just one less thing to think about, organize and plan when we are busy trying to focus on actual work and life. This healthy coleslaw makes a great base of veggies to top with whatever protein you love. Add some avocado and call it good! You can switch up the proteins to make it feel a little different every time, too.
