There’s something so satisfying about a fresh, homemade coleslaw. It’s crunchy, creamy, perfectly balanced, and made with real ingredients you can feel good about. This version skips the preservatives and bottled dressings and instead uses a simple, nourishing blend of avocado mayo, Greek yogurt, and fresh spices to create a coleslaw that’s flavorful without being heavy.
Whether you’re serving it alongside grilled chicken, barbecue, sandwiches, or tacos, this coleslaw adds the perfect refreshing contrast to any meal.
At Vikys Kitchen, I believe even classic side dishes deserve to be made from scratch — because simple, wholesome ingredients truly make all the difference.

The Perfect Balance of Creamy & Tangy
What makes this coleslaw special is the balance.
The avocado mayo gives it richness, while Greek yogurt lightens it up and adds protein. A touch of Dijon mustard and honey create that classic sweet-tangy flavor, and the blend of spices adds depth without overpowering the freshness of the cabbage.
It’s creamy — but not gloopy. Tangy — but not sharp. Just perfectly balanced.
