Cabbage salads are a refreshing and healthy side dish for any meal, and they're especially delicious when made with a tangy, flavorful dressing. But traditional cabbage salads often rely on mayonnaise to achieve that creamy texture and rich flavor. If you're looking for a lighter, healthier alternative, there are plenty of mayo-free cabbage salad recipes that are just as delicious and satisfying. These recipes typically use a combination of vinegar, olive oil, and spices to create a dressing that's both tangy and flavorful. Some recipes also add in other ingredients like shredded carrots, chopped onion, or crumbled bacon to add flavor and texture.

MAYO FREE CABBAGE SALAD
This is a different twist on coleslaw that goes over really well. It is based on a recipe I found in a cookbook but I found it was much simpler to make this way and people seemed to like it better as well.

Tips:
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help the cabbage absorb the dressing more easily and make the salad more tender.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with a slicing blade. Just be careful not to over-process the cabbage, or it will become mushy.
- Add other vegetables to your cabbage salad for extra flavor and nutrition. Some good options include carrots, celery, radishes, and bell peppers.
- Experiment with different dressings. A simple vinaigrette is always a good choice, but you can also try a creamy dressing made with mayonnaise or yogurt.
- Serve cabbage salad immediately or chill it for later. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
