It’s been almost two months since I haven’t posted a single recipe. I was on a fabulous holiday to Mumbai and completely cut off blogging wise . I missed you guys , hope you missed me too. Now that I am back , my apartment is in a mess . So much unpacking and cleaning to do . And I am still in a holiday mood , just don’t feel like cooking. I kinda have to drag myself to the kitchen to make something. And needless to mention all the jet lag is getting me and my son crazy. So made these quick and easy vegan coleslaw sandwich bars which doesn’t require cooking and are express and yummy. We ate it happily without any fuss . I love it when my son eats his veggies readily, and coleslaw has a lot of it. 

There are so many ways you can make coleslaw . And every version is equally delicious . So what are these bars made of –

I have used shredded green cabbage , purple cabbage and carrots – takes care of veggie intake

The cream part – equal parts of vegan mayonnaise / spread and vegan cream cheese – takes care of protein and calcium. 

Some extra dash of sauces and herbs takes care of bursting flavors.

I have used 12 grain bread which gives it a healthy touch – takes care of required protein and carbs. 

Do go through the possible substitution and addition at the end of the recipe which are equally delicious to have.
