As a kid, I really loved Coleslaw.. there was something comforting about that creamy yet crunchy texture, and both my dad and mom would often make it for us for lovely family picnics and gatherings.
As an adult, I found that I wanted to create an elevated version of that memory, with more vegetables, different textures and the lightness of a plant based mayo. I always like to play with my coleslaw and add different things that are available in my kitchen, but the version of this recipe came to life in one of my favourite summer gatherings in Alberta – Inshala Festival – where me and my crew would feed the amazing organizers and talented artists for 5 days, every year in the last few summers.
This recipe became a big hit quickly and has become a summer staple in my kitchen once again.
