Sriracha Coleslaw

This creamy Sriracha Coleslaw has quite the kick. Made with spicy sriracha sauce, it is the perfect addition to a BBQ sandwich or served as a side at your next BBQ or picnic. Why settle for a traditional coleslaw when you can have a spicy coleslaw instead!

Vegan Coleslaw with a Kick

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, which I will be posting in the next week or so. I knew that I wanted a spicy coleslaw to top it. I already had a Jicama Slaw where I used sriracha sauce, and because of the ingredients in the BBQ lentils I decided a Sriracha Coleslaw was the route to go.

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 For Making Sriracha Coleslaw

• 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, julienne the cabbage and carrots yourself.
