Cole slaw made with regular mayo can easily be swapped with this delicious and creamy veggie coleslaw made with avocado mayo and cashew sour cream. The richness of the avocado and the nuttiness of the cashews give this coleslaw the same consistency as the traditional version. Pair this with some grilled veggie hot dogs and french fries.

  1. I had extra cashew sour cream because I made a small batch of coleslaw so I thinned it down and poured it over steamed brussels sprouts. Delicious!
