Are you tired of the usual heavy mayonaise-laden cole slaw? Want to make a cole slaw without mayo? I have good news for you – yummy cole slaw doesn’t have to be swimming in the fattening mayonnaise. Here’s a very healthy version of the cole slaw without any mayo in it! This healthy cole slaw recipe uses a dressing of olive oil and lime instead of the usual mayo.
Even if you are not watching your calories, this healthy cole slaw recipe is a really nice change from a traditional cole slaw. This new light cole slaw tastes very refreshing and crunchy!
Healthy Cole Slaw Recipe Without Mayo
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Ingredients For The Healthy Cole Slaw:
- 1 small cabbage
- 2 carrots
- 1/4 lime
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
How To Make Healthy Cole Slaw Without Mayo:
- Cut cabbage into 8 parts and discard the core. Peel the carrots.
- In a food processor fitted with a shredder blade, shred the cabbage and the carrots. Food processor makes it really quick and easy to shred veggies – it shreds all the cabbage and carrots for this cole slaw in seconds!
- Squeeze the juice out of the lime into a cup, add olive oil and mix until combined.
- Put shredded cabbage and carrots into a large bowl, and pour oil and lime juice mixture over it. Mix. Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix.
Note: to make it even easier, you can use a store-bought cole-slaw mix instead of shredding your own cabbage and carrots. If using a packaged cole-slaw mix, this recipe will take 2 minutes to make!
Enjoy your healthy cole slaw without mayo! This healthy cole slaw is a great accompaniment to any main dish – meat, fish, chicken or sandwiches. Try this yummy cole slaw without mayo with my easy garlic BBQ chicken recipe – you will love it!

Wow, I am intrigued to try this as I’ve always put a lot of mayo in my coleslaw but I know that’s not very healthy :)
hi melanie, this recipe sounds so good. i’m always trying new versions for a good slaw recipe and this one is a keeper. thank you for sharing this and for stopping by my website.. have a nice day:)
I love this! I really like coleslaw but never make it because I’m not keen on mayonnaise. Great summer recipe.
This is super easy even without a food processor and tastes delicious! Better than shop bought in my opinion!
Yeah – cole slaw I can eat (I hate mayo).
Question – the 1/4 lime listed in the ingredients – does that mean use the juice from a 1/4 of a lime or a 1/4 cup of lime juice??
Hi Brenda,
It’s juice from 1/4 of a lime. You can also use bottled Italian dressing instead of lime and oil.

Melanie – I actually have done that with Greek Vinaigrette dressing :-)
Thank You Melanie! This is exactly what I’m looking for! I’m trying to eat more fish and I wanted this to go on fish tacos!

I love how you break down your recipes with step by step instructions and photos. Because of you, I am encouraged that I can do that too!
