Looking for a side dish that’s simple, delicious, and keto-friendly? You’ll love this Easy Keto Coleslaw. It’s creamy, tangy, and takes just 10 minutes to whip up. Perfect for BBQ nights, meal prep, or even a light refreshing salad. You’re about to discover your new favorite low-carb classic!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz coleslaw mix (a touch of carrot for color is fine)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp monk fruit or allulose sweetener
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • ¼ tsp celery salt
  • ½ tsp garlic salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Whisk Up the Dressing

Grab your medium bowl and whisk together:

  • Mayonnaise, sour cream, and heavy cream.
  • Add the sweetener, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, celery salt, garlic salt, and black pepper.

Keep mixing until the dressing is smooth and slightly thick. Taste it—want it sweeter? Add a pinch more sweetener. Prefer more tang? Squeeze an extra bit of lemon juice.

2. Toss the Coleslaw

In your large bowl, toss the coleslaw mix with your creamy dressing. Use tongs to combine everything evenly. Be gentle so the cabbage stays crisp.

3. Chill (Optional, but Worth It)

If you have time, chill the coleslaw for at least 1 hour. This gives the flavors time to meld and makes it even tastier. Pressed for time? No worries—it’s great right away too.

4. Serve and Enjoy!

Give it one last toss before serving. Serve chilled as a side or salad.

Notes

Pro Tips & Tricks

  • Adjust the Dressing: Start by adding half of the dressing to your cabbage. Mix, then decide if you want more. You can always add, but you can’t take it out!
  • Fresh is Best: Use fresh lemon juice for the brightest flavor.
  • Prevent Soggy Slaw: If your coleslaw mix is watery, pat it dry with paper towels before tossing it with the dressing.

Serving Suggestions

Pair this coleslaw with:

  • Grilled chicken thighs or BBQ ribs.
  • Pulled pork or brisket.
  • Keto burgers or lettuce wraps.
  • Use it as a crunchy topping for tacos or sandwiches.

Storage Tips

  • Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The flavors actually get better the next day!
  • Freezer: Skip freezing. Cabbage doesn’t freeze well—it turns soggy.
  • Reheating Tip: No reheating needed. Serve it cold right out of the fridge!
