Creamy Keto Coleslaw

Why This Is Strictly Keto

Classic coleslaw dressing is sweetened with regular sugar — this version uses a powdered sugar-free sweetener instead, keeping the carb count extremely low. The base is simply shredded cabbage and a creamy mayonnaise dressing, with no added starch or sugar.

Ingredients

• 6 cups shredded coleslaw mix (cabbage and a small amount of carrot)
• ¾ cup mayonnaise (check label: no added sugar)
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon powdered erythritol or allulose sweetener (adjust to taste)
• ½ teaspoon celery seed
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons green onion, finely chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, powdered sweetener, and celery seed until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Combine: Place the shredded coleslaw mix in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the top.

3. Toss: Toss everything together using tongs or two large spoons until the cabbage is evenly coated.

4. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (longer is better) to allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.

5. Garnish and serve: Toss once more before serving. Garnish with chopped green onion if desired.

Tips

• Use powdered sweetener, not granulated — granulated versions like plain erythritol can leave a gritty texture in the dressing.
• This coleslaw actually improves with time in the fridge; it tastes great the next day too (up to 3 days).
• Pairs perfectly with pulled pork, grilled chicken, or as a topping for keto burgers.
