I have to be in a very special mood to be craving a lettuce salad so I’m always looking for other ways to bring raw vegetables into my diet and a simple cabbage slaw is something that is high on my list of favorites. What I love about it is that it’s not only really simple to throw together but goes really well with lots of different foods – top tacos with it, serve this slaw as a side with sandwiches, or even put it on pizza for an extra crunch!
I’m a BIG fan of letting sweet and savory flavors play off of each other so I knew I’d love throwing peach slices into my coleslaw and I was totally right. To balance out the sweet, I also threw in some tangy hot sauce and sliced poblano. If you like your food even spicier, you could consider swapping the poblano for a jalapeño. Make sure to slice all the vegetables and peaches super thin so you get a little bit of everything in each bite and there’s more surface area for everything to be coated with the dressing.
This is a vinegar based coleslaw so you won’t find any mayonnaise in the dressing. This allows the coleslaw to be able to be out at room temperature longer and I find it a bit more versatile when it comes to using it as a topping on tacos and sandwiches.

Hi there, looks amazing 🙂
Only one thing, honey is normally not considered as vegan. Instead agave syrup is usually used as you surely know, just saying because I found this under the “Vegan” category.
