Vegan, Oil-Free Rainbow Slaw with Hemp Seed Dressing

Every time I think of coleslaw I think of summer. It's the perfect pair to barbecue food when you want something fresh and crunchy.

I've actually never been a fan of coleslaw until I started making it vegan. It's much lighter in my opinion.

What makes this recipe special though is that it's 100% oil-free (that's right, no mayo!). The base of the creamy sauce for it is actually made from hemp seeds. It's a great way to get in some omega-3s!
