Homemade coleslaw is tasty, crisp, and oh so creamy! Enjoy your dairy free coleslaw at your next barbecue or stack it on a sandwich with your favorite pulled pork recipe.
I am really picky about my coleslaw. I want it to be a certain way and when I try one I don't like I'm often disappointed. This homemade slaw recipe delivers on tanginess, creaminess, and doesn't leave a white soupy mess on your plate that runs into the rest of your food.
I don't know about you, but most of the time, I don't like it when my food touches. So when I have a cold and wet coleslaw juice making my biscuits soggy, it's a sad day. Thankfully this dairy free slaw stays put and doesn't ruin the rest of my meal.

🍴 Recipe Tips
To make this non dairy slaw dressing vegan friendly or egg-free as well, use a vegan alternative for mayonnaise.
If you aren't sure how creamy you want your dairy free coleslaw dressing to turn out, use the ¼ cup of requested mayonnaise and then taste the mix.
If you want to tone down the flavors and add in more mayo, you'll be able to tell at this point but adding mayo after everything has been mixed together is possible. It's just more work to evenly distribute it.
💭 FAQs
Absolutely, if you're up to the task go right ahead. You'll want two large carrots and a head of green cabbage. Slice the half and lay it flat side down on the cutting board. Cut the domes in half and then slice into very thin ribbon sized pieces.
Pour the cabbage into a bowl and shred the carrots. Your carrots will be very wet, so place them between some paper towels and pat dry to remove as much moisture as possible before adding to the cabbage. Then continue as directed.
Unfortunately not with this creamy milk free coleslaw recipe. Due to the mayonnaise base of the non dairy dressing it is not suitable for freezing. The mayo will separate and cause a watery and gross coleslaw as a result.
You can however freeze coleslaw recipes that do not contain mayo. Double check with those trusted recipes just to be sure.
