Easy Vegan Coleslaw

Get ready for a creamy coleslaw filled with fresh and crunchy veggies. This recipe is so simple and you won't believe how amazing and creamy the vegan coleslaw really is until you try it.
I recommend making this a few hours in advance and storing it in the refrigerator. It makes it even better!
