A creamy, tangy, and sugar-free keto-friendly coleslaw perfect as a BBQ side dish. This recipe uses erythritol for sweetness and balances fresh cabbage with a rich dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups finely shredded green cabbage (about 300 grams)
  • 4 cups finely shredded red cabbage
  • 1 medium carrot, grated (about 60 grams) – optional
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) full-fat mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) full-fat sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons erythritol
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse and dry both green and red cabbage. Remove the core, then shred finely using a sharp knife or mandoline to get about 4 cups total shredded cabbage (about 300 grams).
  2. Peel and grate one medium carrot (about 60 grams). This step is optional and can be omitted for stricter keto diets.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup full-fat mayonnaise, 1/4 cup full-fat sour cream, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional), 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 1/2 teaspoons erythritol, 1/2 teaspoon celery seed, and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Pour the dressing over the shredded cabbage and carrot. Toss gently but thoroughly using tongs or two large spoons to coat evenly.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and cabbage to soften slightly while remaining crisp.
  6. Before serving, stir gently and adjust seasoning if needed. Drain excess liquid with a slotted spoon if the coleslaw feels watery.

Notes

For dairy-free version, swap sour cream with coconut cream and mayonnaise with avocado mayo. Omit carrot for stricter keto. Chill at least 30 minutes before serving for best flavor. Drain excess liquid if watery. Adjust sweetness with erythritol or other keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit or stevia.
