Best Healthy Tri-Color Sweet Cole Slaw Mayo-Free

 

 

In the past, I’ve shared multiple salad recipes with shredded cabbage. I just love cabbage. I’m a fan of any crunchy slaw that comes together fast and balances out a meal. Then I discovered broccoli slaw and fell in love again. Most of the cabbage/broccoli salads used a creamy dressing that contained mayonnaise and few were sweet. My sister’s family is definitely a fan of sweet slaw. Today’s version of healthy coleslaw is vegan, Paleo, and dairy-free.

Peach Coleslaw

 

I’m doing my recipe early due to Memorial Day in a couple of weeks. Traditionally, summer starts with Memorial Day. I'm wishing you all a day of safe time with family, with a few moments remembering those who served our country. Now let’s talk about coleslaw.

 Peaches are one of my favorite fruits.  Peaches are available from April to October.  Since Florida is a hot state, you probably think we don’t grow peaches.  Peaches do grow here, in mostly the north part of the state.  Our peaches are available April and May. By June, our markets are selling Georgia peaches.  No matter the state where they are grown, I just love fresh ripe peaches. I love them as my snack or dessert and also like adding them to many dishes.

 

 

 

My Peach Coleslaw is to similar dishes in some restaurants, and even Trader Joe sells it.  My recipe is similar to Trader Joe's with a few modifications.
