Keto Coleslaw – Tips & Notes

Quick & Easy:
This recipe takes only 5 minutes to prep and requires no cooking, making it perfect for busy weekdays, BBQs, or as a side for family meals.

Tips for Best Results:

• Chopping: Pulse the coleslaw mix in a food processor just a few times for smaller, bite-sized pieces, but avoid over-processing to keep some crunch.
• Dressing: Adjust the amount of heavy cream for a creamier or lighter texture according to your preference.
• Flavor Boost: Add a splash of apple cider vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice for a slightly tangy kick.
• Mixing: Toss the dressing thoroughly with the coleslaw to ensure every piece is coated evenly.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve as a side for grilled meats, such as burgers, chicken, or pork chops.
• Works well at picnics, potlucks, or small parties as a low-carb, refreshing salad option.
• Can also be served alongside keto sandwiches or wraps for added crunch.

Storage:

• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Stir before serving, as the dressing may separate slightly over time.

Variations:

• Add sliced radishes, bell peppers, or red cabbage for extra color and nutrients.
• Sprinkle with sesame seeds or chopped fresh herbs for added texture and flavor.
• Swap yellow mustard for Dijon mustard for a slightly sharper taste.
