A creamy bowl of Essence Coleslaw Salad is so much more than just a side—it’s a vibrant mix of crisp textures, subtle sweetness, and refreshing zest. Shredded white and purple cabbage, grated carrot, tender boiled egg, and diced chicken breast come together with a light mayo-honey dressing, finished with a hint of white pepper. Served chilled alongside French bread, this is the perfect balance of crunch, creaminess, and flavor.

Why Our Essence Coleslaw Salad Stands Out

So, what is coleslaw salad made of? Ours features finely shredded white and purple cabbage for beautiful color, thin carrot strips for sweetness, soft boiled egg for richness, and juicy chicken breast for substance. The dressing—a mix of mayonnaise, honey, and a dash of warming white pepper—coats the veggies just enough to bring it all together without weighing it down. Every forkful bursts with crunchy freshness, gentle creaminess, and that satisfying kick of pepper.

This salad isn’t overly sweet—it’s bright and balanced. The honey adds nuance, while the egg and chicken lend hearty texture. Paired with warm French bread, it’s comfort and refreshment on one plate.

Is Coleslaw Healthy? Yes—and This One Proves It

People often ask, “Is coleslaw healthy?” Definitely. Cabbage brings fiber, vitamins A, C, and K, and carrots boost beta-carotene—all while remaining low in calories . Our version keeps the dressing light, uses high-quality protein from chicken breast and egg, and focuses on real ingredients rather than fillers. It’s a smart choice if you want something flavorful, filling, and guilt-free.
