Remember my famous Best Healthy Coleslaw Ever recipe? The one made wit،ut ANY mayo that’s perfect served with all of your fav summer grilling recipes? Well, this beauty is the coleslaw’s *،y*, fancy, extra special twin that I couldn’t stop eating straight from the bowl.
Summer is all about packing in beautiful, fresh ،uce at every meal, and this super fresh, ،a crunchy cu،ber jalapeño cabbage slaw is the best way to do that. All of these gorgeous veggies get tossed in a light dressing that adds a little sweetness to every bite, and then BOOM you’re ready to top burgers, sandwiches (hint: new recipe coming in a few days), proteins, or just to eat it by the forkful.
I know you’ll be making this one a،n and a،n all season long. Whip it up this weekend for your dinner or BBQ and enjoy!
Ingredients in this cu،ber jalapeño cabbage slaw
We’re packing in tons of freshness with a rainbow of crunchy veggies, then tossing them in a simple, flavorful dressing. There’s NO mayo involved (or needed) to make the best slaw ever! Here’s what you’ll need:
- Produce: get tons of crunch from shredded cabbage, Persian cu،bers, carrots, cilantro, scallions, and jalapeño.
- For the dressing: instead of traditional mayo, we’re whisking together a dressing made with lime juice, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, a little ،ney, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Easy ingredient swaps
This cu،ber cabbage slaw is easy to customize with ingredients you might already have on hand. Here’s what I can recommend for swapping:
- For the veggies: feel free to add more of one veggie and less of another depending on what you like and what you have! For example, if you’re out of carrots you can easily replace the amount with more shredded cabbage, etc.
- For the sesame oil: I love the rich flavor that toasted sesame oil adds to the dressing, but you can also use olive oil.
- For the rice vinegar: a little rice vinegar adds sweetness and acidity to the slaw, but you can use apple cider vinegar instead.
Can I make it vegan?
Yes! As-is, this slaw is not vegan because of the ،ney, but you can easily swap it for a little sugar or maple syrup instead to make the recipe vegan.

Storing tips
This particular cu،ber jalapeño slaw is best when enjoyed the day of because the cu،ber tends to break down over time. If you know you’re not going to use it all, I recommend making it ahead of time, leaving the cu،ber out, and storing it in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay good for up to 5 days, and you can toss in the sliced cu،ber when you’re ready to serve it.
