A few weeks ago, I posted a delicious Vegan Grilled Mexican Street Corn Recipe that was shared with us by Violife. Today, I have another barbecue-worthy recipe from their chefs, but this one is for a plant-loaded Brussels sprouts slaw with creamy vegan dressing. Yes, mayo coleslaw is usually dairy-free. But this is a tasty twist that is also top allergen-free (no eggs, soy, etc). Because we like mixing things up!
Creamy Vegan Brussels Sprout Slaw for a BBQ Side or Healthy Lunch
You can enjoy this Brussels sprout slaw with almost any grilled main, but it also makes a great lunchtime bowl, topped with your protein of choice. The base includes hearty brussels and cabbage, which hold up better than regular salad greens. You can easily make this mix the night before, but I would add cilantro just before serving. It’s a bit more delicate than the other ingredients.
This recipe uses Violife brand cream cheese alternative, which makes it not only vegan, but also top allergen-free. Using another brand will change the ingredients and nutrition facts a little. Also, keep in mind that Violife’s tub is just over 7 ounces. Other brands might vary a little in size.
