Answer 2

Just use a vinaigrette. A lemon Vinaigrette would be nice w/ cabbage.

Or make Freezer Slaw. You assemble it the night before, store in the freezer in it's dressing (NOT mayo-based) then serve the next day.

Here's my grandma's recipe. It doesn't use mayo.

Grandma’s Coleslaw

3 ½ tbsp vinegar
3 tbsp half & half
½ tbsp sugar
1 small cabbage, shredded
1 can crushed pineapple

Blend and serve. (Flavors probably “marry” better by sitting in the refrigerator for a while.)
