3-Ingredient Creamy No Mayo Coleslaw Dressing

3-Ingredient Creamy No Mayo Coleslaw Dressing is an easy coleslaw dressing with no mayo, and it’s dairy-free and vegan! 

I’ve been wanting to share this 3-Ingredient Creamy No Mayo Coleslaw Dressing with you for quite some time, but kept talking myself out of it because it’s barely even a recipe.

3 ingredients counts as a recipe doesn’t it??

Obviously I think it does count because at long last I’m sharing it with you today. 

This no mayo coleslaw dressing recipe is something that I make all the time, so I think you’ll find it useful too.

3-Ingredient No Mayo Coleslaw Dressing

Most of my life I avoided coleslaw because I hate mayo.  All of the coleslaws that I was exposed to growing up looked really unappealing, with thick, gloppy mayo-based dressings.

There was no way I wanted to eat that!

Years ago I discovered Vegenaise, and it changed everything for me.  I haven’t been paid to promote this product — it’s simply a product that I love and it’s always in my fridge.

Vegenaise products are vegan, gluten-free, dairy free, non-GMO and are made with heart healthy oils.   They’re completely plant-based and come in soy and soy-free varieties.

I’ve been known to use Greek yogurt in creamy dressings on occasion, but I prefer to use Vegenaise because it has such great flavor — it’s the perfect base for dressings.

How to make coleslaw dressing with no mayo

For me, a great coleslaw dressing must be (3) things:

• creamy
• tangy
• sweet

This dressing hits all three marks!

The Vegenaise gives my dressing a nice creamy base, then I add a considerable amount of apple cider vinegar to give it lots of tang.

From there I add pure maple syrup — my sweetener of choice.  I normally add 2 tablespoons, but if you want a sweeter dressing you can always add up to 1-2 more tablespoons.

Recipe tips and substitutions

• The Vegenaise may be substituted with another vegan mayo or Greek yogurt.
• Change things up by adding poppy seeds, curry powder, or chopped herbs!
• This no mayo coleslaw dressing recipe is great in cabbage-based coleslaws as well as broccoli salads, shaved brussels sprout salads, and especially broccoli slaw.

Use this creamy no mayo coleslaw dressing in the following recipes:

Notes

• *Vegenaise is a plant-based, healthy alternative to mayo that's non-GMO, gluten free, and made with heart healthy oils. The original contains soy, but I love the soy-free variety as well. I'm not being compensated to promote this product...I just love it!
