I love red cabbage in any shape or form, cooked or raw. But as this fabulous Vegan Red Cabbage Slaw with red onion it has to be on my top 10 list of ‘How Do You Like Your Red Cabbage?’ ????
Topped with tasty sunflower and pumpkin seeds that provide vitamins, minerals, protein, fibre, and healthy fats, you really are giving your body a treat. And that’s not even mentioning the benefits of the red cabbage and onion!
It’s quite important to use a good quality vegan mayonnaise as they have a better flavour. For this recipe, I used Hellmann’s Vegan Mayonnaise, which is also gluten free.
Now, what shall I serve it with?
This Gluten Free Slaw is also a great addition to a mezze board with Vegan Home-Baked Flour Tortilla Chips and Amazing Vegan Miso Hummus. Please note the Home-Baked Tortilla Chips shown here are not gluten free.
If you want to serve this as part of a buffet just make ahead and mix in the sunflower and pumpkin seeds before serving. This will ensure they keep their ‘bite’ which adds to the texture of the dish.

This red cabbage recipe is so delicious. I was not so sure about adding the seeds to start with, but so glad I did. Yummy.
Hi Dawn
I am so glad you did go with the seeds after all as they add texture, protein, and fibre to make a really healthy dish 🥰
You could change it up a bit and add toasted cashew nuts or sesame seeds.
