Notes
Coleslaw Mix Note: I used a 14-oz bag of coleslaw mix with pre-shredded cabbage and carrots for ease of preparation. A 16-oz bag will also work, it just won't have as much dressing. You can also chop/shred green cabbage, purple cabbage, and carrots by hand to make your own mix. Just make sure you have about 5 cups total.
Silken Tofu Note: This recipe has been updated to use silken tofu instead of tofu mayo. You can still use tofu mayo or even store-bought mayo, just use ½ cup.
Storage: Store creamy vegan coleslaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
