Creamy Herbed Coleslaw with Grape Tomatoes
Rather than have my usual lettuce and spinach salad for lunch today, I decided to enjoy a nice big bowl of coleslaw. And since there's a 2-pound package of grape tomatoes on my counter (my daughter pleaded with me to buy them, saying she'd have them for snacks, but that's a lot of snacking) I decided to throw a few of them in too. The combination was a good one, though I have to advise you that I used way too much dressing for this amount of coleslaw. If you decide to make this, start with less dressing and add more to your taste. It turned out a little too rich for mine!
Creamy Herbed Coleslaw with Grape Tomatoes
1/4 - 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise (I used Nayonnaise, but you can make it yourself)
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar (or vinegar of choice)
1 tsp. agave nectar (or sweetener of choice)
1/2 tsp. celery seed
1/4 tsp. dill weed
1/2 tsp. dried tarragon
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
salt, to taste
8 ounces coleslaw (shredded cabbage and carrots) --or more, as needed
6 ounces grape or cherry tomatoes
Mix all ingredients except the coleslaw and tomatoes together in a small bowl. Pour over the coleslaw and mix well. Add the tomatoes and combine gently. Refrigerate and allow flavors to blend until ready to serve.

I'm a college student and live in the dorms, which means that I'm required to have a meal plan. Let me tell you, I have been craving some cole slaw for awhile now, but unfortunately my cafeteria only serves one kind of coleslaw- mayonaise with a little bit of cabbage and maybe some shredded carrots. This looks sooo delicious. I can't wait until I'm on my own and can make this beautiful cole slaw!

I agree with Teresa -- this looks great! Printing out now...
As the warm weather is upon us here (72F yesterday, and back up to 68F today!) I'm getting in the mood for cold foods again. I might have to make some cole slaw -- and this looks scrumptious.
LOL Shawn, if 72 is "warm," we're into HOT here--92 yesterday. Salads are looking better and better all the time!
Hi Teresa--I hope you get a chance to make the coleslaw soon--and that you like it. I remember wasting lots of money on the meal plan in college; I was forced to pay for it, but never used it. I couldn't wait to get out of the dorm and into my own apartment.
Hey Cate, hope you like it!
Susan - I love tomatoes in the cole slaw - nice twist. We love all kinds of cole slaw and this one looks awesome - thanks for sharing!
hehehe -- when I wrote that, I figured some of y'all from the south would laugh at the thought. At 72, we're all wearing shorts and sandals!
I did buy shredded cabbage, and we're having cole slaw either today or tomorrow!
