Veggie Packed Coleslaw
What you’ll need:
- Shredded Cabbage or Coleslaw Mix
- Broccoli Slaw or Other Shredded Veggies
- Avocado Mayo (see below for my recipes!)
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Mustard
- Garlic Powder

I don’t use anything to sweeten mine, but if you want to add some to yours, absolutely go for it! I have tried it with Stevia or a little honey and both were great.

Hot Dog “Salad”
I absolutely cannot stop making this recipe for easy lunches throughout the week. Is it essentially coleslaw topped with two hot dog links? Yes. BUT, it’s a completely balanced (and obviously delicious) meal as it’s packed with veggies, healthy fat and protein. I always use the most high quality protein I can find, such as hot dogs or sausage or even burgers made with just real food ingredients.
Because of the brands I use for protein, this recipe is completely Whole30 and paleo compliant!
If you’re a vegan or vegetarian, simply swap in your favorite protein source! Or if you don’t like hot dogs, use a protein you enjoy. Make it meet your dietary needs and taste preferences!
A NOTE ON CALORIE COUNT, NUTRITIONAL INFO AND SERVING SIZES
Due to my past experiences, I do not include most of the above information within my recipes as it is unsafe for me to do so personally. While I try to share a rough estimate when it comes to the serving size, please note that it is very subjective as we all have different hunger levels both from person to person and even from meal to meal.
If any of the above information is important to you, I understand! We are all different and have various goals and needs. If you’d like, you are welcome to calculate the information needed based on the ingredients you use when making one of my recipes.
I hope you understand! This comes from a place of love and protection both for myself and others like me. If you ever have any questions, send me an Instagram message for the quickest response time! Thank you for being here!

This is great! I made mine with apple chicken sausage and also made some potatoes in the air fryer with avocado oil, salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and smoked paprika because I wanted some carbs with it. Another great recipe!
I’m so glad you love this one, Kari! Love the addition of potatoes too, those are some of my favorite spices for fries! Thanks so much. 🙂
