This creamy cole slawrecipe was created to go with my fried fish – but it’s a great side dish to have with just about any meal! I love making some during my weekly meal prep, for a quick veggie side dish to have on hand throughout the week. Not only is it low carb, but it also has plenty of healthy fats making it perfect for a ketogenic diet!

Ingredients and substitutions

To keep it simple, I use a bagged coleslaw mix. It does have a few carrots mixed in which I know some people avoid on keto. If you don’t want the carrots you can simply shred your own cabbage.

Assembly of low carb coleslaw

Since the recipe doesn’t use a ton of onion, I find it easier to use dried minced onion instead of slicing into an onion to only use a little bit. You can use fresh onion if you like, or onion powder. For the fresh onion use about 3 tbsp of finely minced white onion. For the onion powder, you will want to use a tsp or two.

Also, this is a sweet coleslaw similar to what you would get from a fast food restaurant. You can adjust the amount of sweetener to your taste. I use Liquid stevia since it mixes in with the dressing so well and doesn’t crystalize like other sweeteners might.

Ingredients

  • 1 package pre-cut cabbage coleslaw mix (about 8 cups)
  • 1 tbsp dried minced onion
  • 1/2 tsp liquid stevia
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • Place the coleslaw mix into a large bowl and set aside.
  • In a separate, small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients to make the dressing – stir to combine. 
  • Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mix and stir until all the cabbage is well coated. You can serve it immediately, but it’s best to allow it to sit for at least an hour.

    Hello! Just wanted to point out that your recipe says 10.3g fat and then 4.1g fat. I assume that means carbs?

      It will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week with no problems, in fact, I think it’s best when it’s a day or two old!

    This coleslaw is amazing! I was just talking about missing KFC’s slaw and my sister in law sent me this recipe. It’s good right away, but let it sit a couple hours and WOW!
    I had to force myself to put it away! It’s a good thing I have enough ingredients to make another batch!
    Shh! I told my husband it’s my diet food! I want it all for myself! 😂

      Either mayo will work, but if you are watching your carbs then the regular is best. Heavy cream is also called heavy whipping cream. It’s usually in the dairy aisle next to the half and half and coffee creamers. If you can’t find it you can substitute half and half or whole milk. Hope that helps, let me know how it turns out!
