It's that time of year when people head outside to celebrate the warmer temperatures with picnics, BBQs, and other outdoor gatherings, and what better side dish to have a place at the table than a creamy coleslaw?
This Sriracha Coleslaw was inspired by my craving for a BBQ Lentil Sandwich. I knew that I wanted a spicy coleslaw to top it.
Vegan coleslaw with a kick, that's my kind of coleslaw!
I actually don't eat coleslaw very often. I prefer a loaded salad with my latest favorite dressing and ingredients.
But when a craving for a BBQ Lentil Sandwich strikes me, I know a creamy coleslaw is in order. The spicy coleslaw provided the perfect contrasting crunch to the softer texture of the BBQ Lentils.

💭 Tips
- Make the Sriracha Coleslaw the day before and refrigerate it overnight. The juices from the veggies will add flavor to the dressing. If you prefer a less liquidy coleslaw, make it 30 minutes before serving.
- Taste the coleslaw dressing as you make it. You may want more or less sugar and sriracha sauce.
- Use a shredded mix to make it easier, or if you prefer to save money over time, shred the cabbage and julienne the carrots yourself.
🥡 Storage
This coleslaw will last up to 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge.

Ginger Walnut Wraps, Vegan Cheese Puffs, and now this Cole Slaw.... I have only tried 3 concoctions of yours and so far all three are the absolute most delicious things I have ever put into my mouth. So I’ve come to the conclusion that either you and I have identical taste buds, or you’ve sold your soul to a vegan devil for these recipes.
In any case, keep up the fantastic work, Willow, you have a subscriber for life.
Namaste, Amy
