I tried making this with a vinagrette, and while it was tasty, it just isn't the same. I like a super simple slaw dressing. I also tried making this with my vegan mayo that I made myself, but it didn't hold up and disintegrated into oil. The answer I found was to use a store bought vegan mayo called Just Mayo. It holds up quite well, retains it's creaminess, and doesn't have any odd off flavors. Yum! Recipe: - 1 head cabbage - 1 cup of vegan mayo (I prefer Just Mayo) - 1/4 cup white vinegar - 1/4 cup white sugar - salt and pepper to taste Shred the cabbage (a food processor makes this a breeze). Put into a large bowl and whisk the rest of the ingredients into a dressing. Give it a minute to let the vinegar start to dissolve the sugar, and then mix the cabbage and dressing. Let that sit and meld for a bit, and enjoy! ![2017-09-16 10.02.54.jpg](https://www.bean-queen.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2017-09-16%2010.02.54.jpg?width=590&height=332&name=2017-09-16%2010.02.54.jpg) ![2017-09-16 10.02.58.jpg](https://www.bean-queen.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2017-09-16%2010.02.58.jpg?width=590&height=332&name=2017-09-16%2010.02.58.jpg) If you're like me and you aren't going to eat an entire head of cabbage in a day or two, it also works to put the shredded cabbage in the fridge and make a little bit of slaw at a time. You can also use shredded cabbage in soups or as a nice crunchy garnish to other dishes. Here are some of my favorite dishes to serve some crunchy slaw with: [Barbecue chickpea pizza](https://www.bean-queen.com/blog/barbecue-chickpea-pizza) ### Spread the word!

It also adds in all the “hearty” vegetables - mushrooms, potatoes, carrots, and onion. Instead of just, you know, a pie full of meat (or in this case, beans).
