Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 4 cups green cabbage, thinly shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, finely grated

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Thinly shred the green cabbage and grate the carrots finely. This combination ensures the coleslaw has the perfect crunch and brightness in every forkful.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together the plant-based mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, onion powder (natural), salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine and Toss: Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and toss gently to coat all pieces evenly. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the crispness of the veggies.
  4. Chill for Flavors to Meld: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. This step helps all the flavors marry beautifully, creating that signature Chick-Fil-A coleslaw taste.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline slicer for evenly shredded cabbage and carrots.
  • Allow the coleslaw to chill enhances the flavor and texture significantly.
  • Taste the dressing before mixing; adjust sugar (natural) to match your preferred sweetness.
  • Prepare the coleslaw as close to serving time as possible to keep it crisp.
  • Balance apple cider vinegar with enough creamy mayonnaise (plant-based) to avoid overpowering tang.
  • Store leftover coleslaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • Freezing is not recommended as it alters texture upon thawing.
  • This dish is best served cold; bring to room temperature if desired before serving.
