Nothing complements a hot dog or burger better than coleslaw. Coleslaw should be light and refreshing, but traditional coleslaw recipes are anything but, as they are laden with mayonnaise and/or sour cream.
In this recipe, I use a product called Vegenaise, which is now available at most grocery stores. It is a non-dairy, egg-free product and has the same texture and taste similar to Miracle Whip. Since it is a plant-based product, it does not contain cholesterol or saturated fat, which makes this a healthy coleslaw recipe. This recipe actually allows you to taste more than just the dressing…. the veggies! Now this coleslaw is definitely light, refreshing and healthy.

1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped

1/2 tsp. black pepper
