    Apple Cider Vinaigrette Coleslaw for Picnics, Grilling and Burger Nights

    Several years ago, I was editing a food feature for Allergic Living magazine focused on diner fare. We decided the piece needed a couple more quick accompaniments, so I whipped up this apple cider vinaigrette coleslaw recipe. It’s a modern version of coleslaw that’s healthier and more flavorful than the classic, and also top allergen free. Yes, classic coleslaw is dairy-free, but isn’t it nice to have more tasty side options that don’t require alternatives?!

    This speedy slaw is great with burgers and other grilled dishes. Leftovers keep well, so it’s also a good choice for lunchboxes. If you’re worried about the apples browning, I would use the jicama alternative discussed in the ingredient options below.

    Ingredient Options

    • Best Oil Choices: I use grapeseed, rice bran, or extra-light olive oil. If you like to use canola or vegetable oils for dressings, these also work well. I do think avocado oil would also be tasty, but would avoid other strong oils and wouldn’t use coconut oil. This is a cold recipe, and coconut oil can solidify into little clumps when cold.
    • Other Add-Ins: Julienned jicama is a great addition to coleslaw. It has a texture similar to firm apples, but is less sweet. Other tasty additions can be raisins or chopped pecans or walnuts.
    • No Mustard? Since mustard is a top allergen in Canada, I came up with a mustard-free option, too! The mustard aids in emulsification, but you can omit it if necessary, or add a pinch of xanthan gum in its place.

    This light-tasting side as a wonderful compliment to burgers and other grilled meals. It's also great for picnics and lunchboxes since it keeps quite well. Please note that the Prep time is hands-on time only. The flavor benefits from resting time in the refrigerator.
