Allergy-free Chipotle Coleslaw

This delicious, spicy coleslaw is not only allergy-free but Paleo too!  I found the recipe on Health-Bent.com here and substituted an allergy-free mayonnaise.



If you don't count the marinating time, this recipe takes about 5 minutes to make.  All you do is slice up the cabbage (cut down the middle and remove the hard middle part first), mix up the dressing, and combine.   Instead of regular or homemade mayo, I prefer to use my new favorite allergy-free mayo: Earth Balance Mindful Mayo.  It's the only egg-free mayo I have found that actually tastes like mayonnaise.  



The chipotle chile and cilantro are mixed in with the dressing.


Then, the cabbage is simply folded into the dressing. The result - a crunchy, spicy, flavorful coleslaw to accompany just about any main dish!

  2. I have a cabbage that's been sitting in my fridge that I think has been waiting for this recipe. I love cole slaw and I love chipotle...

  3. Doesn't this mayo have canola oil? Isn't that an 'avoid food' for Paleo? It looks delicious though.

    1. Yes, this allergy-free mayo is not officially Paleo. For a true paleo version of this recipe, I would recommend making your own mayonnaise: http://www.health-bent.com/sauces/paleo-mayo-nnaise
