Oil free slaw recipe
You all know I love pickles. They add a tangy zip to most anything, in my opinion.
This tangy pickled slaw was included with our recent Smoky Lentil Chili and A Hot Dog Toppings Bar:
This recipe is definitely one we will be repeating all summer long. I made three batches in a week because we were topping all the things with slaw.
I love the bright and tangy flavor with the crisp cool crunch - I could eat this by itself as a salad!

what is the replacement of Cashew Milk???? it is not available in my area
Kristina Sloggett says
hi Albert, I would replace the cashew milk with any available dairy free milk of your choice - all will work in this recipe.
Deborah says
this sounds delicious! I am not familiar with cashew cream or cashew butter. Can you substitute for this?
Kristina Sloggett says
absolutely, Deborah - cashew cream / butter is used to slightly thicken, like a mayonnaise would, so if you have some cashews - like, even just a 1/4 cup - you could add them to a blender with some water. cashew butter is my quick way of doing this, because it has a milder flavor than peanut butter. (I have also used a sunflower seed butter for this recipe in the past.)
you could omit altogether for a thinner "sauce" or even use a couple tablespoons mayonnaise. hope you enjoy!
Deborah says
thanks for getting back to me so quickly Kristina! I may even try Vegenaise as we have some of that at home.
Kristina Sloggett says
a couple tablespoons of Vegenaise should work just fine. enjoy! 🙂
