Avocado-Based Mayo

At the heart of this spicy coleslaw recipe is a Whole 30 approved, avocado-based mayo. Our favorite is from Primal Kitchen and made with avocado oil. The texture is exactly like classic mayo, but lighter and even more flavorful. Even if you aren’t following a specific diet type, once you try this mayo you may never go back to the “original.”

Spicy Coleslaw Recipe Tips:

  • You can make this recipe vegan by using vegan mayo instead.
  • You can also use fresh jalapeños if you prefer.
  • Store the sauce in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you make it ahead of time, wait to mix in the coleslaw mix so it doesn’t get soggy.
