Low Carb Coleslaw
Coleslaw also know as slaw is a type of salad that is said to have originated from the Netherlands. The the name Coleslaw came from the Dutch word Koosla meaning cabbage salad.
Though there are a variety of coleslaw recipes, the m main ingredient in each recipe is Cabbage. Some recipes add lots of other ingredients like onions, bell peppers and carrots.
Creamy Low carb Coleslaw
The coleslaw I have always made has just shredded cabbage and carrots that’s the version I would share today. Subsequently I will be sharing other low carb Coleslaw recipes.
Is Coleslaw Keto?
Traditional Coleslaw on it’s own is keto friendly since Cabbage and carrots are low carb veggies. The non keto component would be the sugar laden dressing which isn’t keto friendly.
At this point, you want to ditch the dressing and make yours.

Making coleslaw is one of the easiest thing you will ever do in the kitchen.
You can buy the already made coleslaw mix or buy shredded cabbage and then grate the carrots with a grater then use. Or you can make it completely from scratch.
Making Coleslaw Requires just two ingredients (carrots and cabbage) and a few steps.
How to make coleslaw from scratch
1. Wash! Wash! Wash your hands:
I can’t emphasize this enough. While dealing with vegetables, and cooking generally, the first and most important step is to wash your hands.
2. Wash your Utensils and Vegetables thoroughly:
Wash the utensils needed like bowls, colanders, knives, chopping boards etc. Next you wash your vegetables. Remove the the outer leaves of the cabbage and Wash.
Make sure wash vegetables in a lot of water especially the very leafy vegetables and set aside to drain in a colander.
3. Clean your work surface like you never have.
Pay attention to details. You never know what germs are lurking around. Clean your work surface thoroughly before and after use.
After the above steps, you are ready to make your coleslaw. Cut up your cabbage, grate your carrots, make your dressing. Mix everything together and set aside in the refrigerator to chill.

Why is my Coleslaw watery?
Make sure your dressing is thick and that you are using enough dressing. Coleslaw is meant to be made ahead and set aside to give the veggies time to wilt.
When it wilts, water is extracted. ( due to the salt and vinegar in the dressing) If your coleslaw dressing is watery, it makes the coleslaw even more watery. But if the dressing is thick, the water slightly thins it out making your sugar free coleslaw perfect.
The best coleslaw are best left to rest for at least 20 mins up to overnight. This way the flavors blend and the dressing thins out to perfection.
What to serve coleslaw with.
Coleslaw is a great side dish and can be served with any meats of choice, grilled or fried.
It would make the perfect side dish for thanksgiving.
