    Creamy Cajun Coleslaw Salad that’s Naturally Dairy-Free & Vegan Optional

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on February 28, 2022 Alisa's Recipes, Dairy-Free Recipes, Salad, Sides

    This cajun coleslaw salad merges a classic romaine salad with coleslaw, for a nice compliment of textures. It’s great for barbecues, topping burgers, or making into a full salad with your favorite protein. We like it with chicken, chickpeas, or baked tofu. As a side, it serves four or more people, but as the main feature, it makes two good-sized salad bowls.

    Creamy Cajun Coleslaw Salad with Simple Vegan Option

    Many people don’t realize that classic mayonnaise is naturally dairy-free. It’s made from an emulsification of eggs, which are not dairy, and oil. But we were testing out Earth Balance Mindful Mayo, a vegan mayonnaise, so this recipe is tested egg-free. We thought the taste was perfect!

    I originally shared this basic little recipe over ten years ago, but am giving it a big upgrade. It’s just the right accompaniment to our Fat Tuesday meal, and perfect for upcoming barbecues with both kids and adults. The dairy-free Cajun seasoning we used wasn’t too spicy, but some brands have a lot of heat. Add a little at a time, to taste, to ensure you get the right level for you.

    Feel free to adjust the seasonings to taste since the flavor of the mayo you use and of your cajun seasoning may vary a bit.

    Ingredients
    • ¼ cup mayonnaise or vegan mayonnaise (I used Earth Balance Mindful Mayo)
    • ½ tablespoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
    • ½ teaspoon cajun seasoning, or more to taste
    • ½ teaspoon sugar or dash of pure stevia extract
    • 1 romaine heart, washed and sliced into small pieces
    • 2 cups fresh coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrots)
    • 1 green onion, minced
    Instructions
    1. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, vinegar or lemon juice, seasoning, and sweetener until smooth.
