Summertime is the ultimate time to eat coleslaw. It pairs with nearly anything off the grill and that alone makes it the perfect summer side dish. While I love a classic version, this healthy, Paleo Curried Coleslaw is a delicious way to shake up the flavors a bit.
With ingredients like fresh ginger, lime juice, cilantro, curry powder and turmeric, there is definitely no lack of flavor in this coleslaw. It’s crunchy, vibrant, zesty, creamy and sweet.
Speaking of creamy, this recipe uses avocado oil mayonnaise and just enough too. No soupy, soggy mess here! Additionally, avocado oil mayonnaise offers a dose of healthy fats, unlike conventional mayonnaise.
While this coleslaw can be paired with many proteins, it is especially wonderful with turkey burgers, chicken and fish. My favorite way to eat it is in a bowl with steamed greens, a layer of slaw and protein on top. Sometimes, I’ll throw in roasted sweet potato too.

Cheers and enjoy!
