I am not a big fan of classic mayo-dressed coleslaw. I came up with this recipe to serve on pulled pork sandwiches, but it can also be served as a salad. This slaw has an Asian kick to it, using fresh ginger, rice vinegar and a splash of fish sauce for the dressing. As a nod to classic coleslaw I add fresh pineapple.

love the no mayo part. just learned of my daughter’s intolerance to . among other things, eggs! so mayo is out. looking for good alternatives!!
THANKS!
Hi Kit, we have a few food intolerances in our family too. Something New For Dinner has lots of recipes that can accommodate a variety of food intolerances, including eggs, gluten and dairy. Most recipes are egg free, and many are gluten free. Even recipes with dairy can often be easily modified to be dairy free simply by eliminating a cheese garnish in a salad. Focus on whole foods and avoid processed foods, and it will be a lot easier to manage dietary restrictions.
Good luck!
