Want to know a secret? I actually made and photographed this easy coleslaw recipe for the first time 2 years ago. I have probably made this at least 25 times since and never got around to sharing with you.
I think I was secretly holding onto this secret because it is so good and everyone loves it. I have tested this recipe for 5 different types of mayonnaise (including homemade) and nothing comes close to the flavor of the delicious Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil Mayonnaise <—- (FREE Jar at that link)
Easy Coleslaw Recipe
I get asked all the time for easy side dishes to pair with our awesome crockpot recipes. This easy coleslaw recipe fits that bill perfectly. Actually, I am going to make you a list of my favorite ways to enjoy this coleslaw right after you watch the quick video I shot and edited showing you how to make this recipe.
I would love for you to leave me a comment with your thoughts on the videos. What do you like? Is there anything you don’t like? Do you want a lot more videos?
Here are some other recipe videos I created for you:
- Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Sliders (using this recipe)
- How to Shred Chicken in 10 seconds
- And of course this Easy Coleslaw Recipe
In all of our testing of this caveman coleslaw, we have paired it with many dishes and discovered it pairs perfectly with almost everything. As a family we definitely have our repeat offenders though. Our favorite ways to enjoy this easy coleslaw are:
- Eating it with a Shovel
- As a side to our Crockpot Pulled Pork
- Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Sliders
- As a side to our Jalapeno Dijon Chicken Thighs
Armed with this delicious coleslaw and the recipe recommendations I made above, you can have dinner ready in 10 minutes with plenty of leftovers for the week. I actually think this coleslaw could be made from start to finish in under a minute if you were willing to break a sweat in the kitchen. No need though, it will taste the same taking 5 minutes.

The Scale Doesn’t Matter – YOU are Worthy
Loving the addition of the cranberries – I’m adding this to the rotation!
Glad you loved it!
SO YUMMY!
Just made your easy caveman slaw and I love it! I used homemade avocado oil mayo because we’re not that lucky to be able to buy primal kitchen mayo here in germany. Added a little (or a lot) curry powder and vinegar to the dressing to give it more of a zing and because there isn’t a thing like too much turmeric, right? ;)
oh and I bet it would be even more awesome (but more time consuming) with the addition of some crumbled up bacon #hugsandbacon
That sounds so awesome. Thank you for commenting and making it Carolina
Pardon me – I meant “60 second” email heading.
Looks like a tasty coleslaw – the addition of the cranberries makes it different than most slaw recipes. Your “5 minute” heading on the email is hardly accurate however. Prepping the various ingredients would take longer than that. Food prep often takes longer than the mixing or cooking process. Good recipe however – I will make the slaw soon.
Jim, I bought all of the ingredients already sliced so it was under a minute
If I don’t have Primal Kitchen Mayonnaise what can I use? Thanks love these short videos.
Whichever mayonnaise you prefer. I would sign up for the free one and then use your favorite may
