Beetroot and Apple Slaw

You can’t beat a great slaw. This vegan beetroot and apple slaw is a plant based alternative to your classic white cabbage coleslaw. It’s super healthy, nutritious and an ideal side for your summer BBQ or inside some crusty bread as a sandwich filler. I like this recipe because it’s a bit different to your standard salads you’d find at a BBQ. It’s also easy enough to tweak to your own tastes. Don’t fancy apricot? Leave it out or swap for some raisins. Don’t fancy spring onions? Leave them out or swap for some red onion.
What you need
- cooked beetroot in brine
- apple
- carrot
- spring onions
- dried apricots
- vegan mayo

- apple cider vinegar
How to make beetroot and apple slaw
To start, collect all of your ingredients together. Drain and dice your beetroot into 2cm cubes. You can then cut up your apple into similar sized pieces (bite sized). Peel and grate your carrot, thinly slice your spring onions and roughly chop your dried apricot.

Now that you’ve ingredients are prepared add everything together in a large bowl. Give it a good stir, season and viola! It’s really that simple to throw together and tastes divine.

Serve as a BBQ side with your favourite burger, like my spicy black bean burgers, or eat with a fresh green salad for a tasty lunch.

Hey, just a note. The recipe for the beetroot and apple slaw isn’t on here. It’s the Creamy Tomato Tagliatelle instead.
