Coleslaw (no mayo)

May 25, 2017 by Jo Barnett

I like coleslaw but am not a huge mayo fan. This coleslaw is perfect for bbq’s, buffets, or really anytime. Really easy if you buy the cabbage already shredded in the bag. Perfect side for the Salt & Pepper Chip Baked Chicken.

Ingredients (Salad):

  • 1/2 bag sugar snap peas – cut in 1/4 in pieces
  • 1 yellow pepper – diced
  • 1 bag (9oz) shredded greens (includes green and red cabbage and carrots)

Ingredients (Dressing):

  • zest of 2 lemons and juice of 1 lemon
  • zest and juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Xyla
  • 1 teaspoon of wasabi paste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  1. Whisk the dressing ingredients together and combine with the slaw ingredients.
