Colorful Coleslaw with Orange & Cilantro Vinaigrette

Published on | Updated on

We have a ton of fresh cilantro growing in our side yard, to I searched for recipes that use a lot of it. This coleslaw recipe looked good, and also uses oranges, which we have tons of. Here’s my version, with a few changes. It was yummy - Larry loved it!

Ingredients

  • 2 carrots, shredded
  • Half a cabbage (about 6 cups, red or green or mix), shredded
  • 1/2 C red onion, chopped
  • 1 C cilantro leaves

Dressing

  • 1/4 C plain yogurt (I use homemade)
  • 1/4 vegan mayo
  • 1/4 C fresh squeezed orange juice
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 3 T white vinegar
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt (or more, to taste)

Instructions

Shred/slice the carrots, cabbage, and onion (I used my food processor with slicing attachment) and put in a big bowl with the cilantro. Whisk up the dressing in a separate bowl. Mix dressing into veggies until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Serve!
