Crunchy Chia Cole Slaw

Cole slaw is a great dish that works well as a side for many meals. The way we make ours, it's nice and crunchy and is tasty enough for more than just burgers and hot dogs. Sometimes it is the main dish (or only dish) for a quick and light dinner. Far too many times people will deliver a cole slaw that is so laden with mayonnaise that its soggy and literally dripping. Instead we use a small amount of vegannaise an some vegan cream cheese to keep the mix crunchy and yet coated.

- 1 tablespoon vegannaise
- 2 tablespoons vegan cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Daiya Havarti Wedge Style Cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk
- 4 cups of cole slaw mix (or mixed shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes (or more)

1. Add the Daiya cheese and cream cheese to a small bowl and mash together with a fork.
2. Add vegannaise and mix together.
3. Add almond milk and stir to combine all ingredients. Some lumps are fine (who doesn't like chunks of Daiya cheese?).
4. In a mixing bowl add 2 cups of cole slaw mix. Add the Daiya-milk-vegannaise mixture to the cole slaw and mix together.
5. Add the chia seeds and mix together again.
6. Add the rest of the cole slaw mix and fold everything together.
7. Serve immediately or store in fridge for the opportune time. Sprinkle the nutritional on top of the bowl, or individual bowls (if you're like Nicole you can sprinkle them directly onto each serving and in your mouth).
