    I love eating a fresh coleslaw with a veggie burger or some flavor-filled skewers. You can also serve this salad along with a vegan meatloaf or vegan mac & cheese!

    How to Make Tangy Coleslaw

    1. Combine salad ingredients in a bowl.
    2. In a different bowl, whisk together dressing.
    3. Cover and refrigerate slaw. Season to taste.

    Full directions for how to make Tangy Coleslaw are in the printable recipe card below.

    Tangy Coleslaw FAQs

    How long will this coleslaw last?

    You can store your coleslaw in the fridge for up to 5 days. Make sure to store it in an airtight container to keep the ingredients from going bad quickly.

    Why is this type of salad called "coleslaw?"

    According to Chad's BBQ, coleslaw originally came from the Netherlands where it was called "koosla" meaning "cabbage salad." It was then brought to America, where the mayonnaise was added. Today, there are hundreds of coleslaw variations, but they almost always include the classic cabbage and some form of the mayonnaise.
