Carolina Coleslaw- Sugar-Free, Tangy, and Delicious!
You might be used to coleslaw filled with mayo, but this sugar-free Carolina Coleslaw recipe is light, sweet, and tangy, perfect for your summer cookouts.
This keto Carolina coleslaw would be perfect for my pulled pork sliders or along with my keto Taco Skillet.
The hint of sweetness from the allulose perfectly balances out the vinegar and Dijon mustard, making this a favorite even among kids.
What You Need to Make Carolina Coleslaw
To make this keto coleslaw even lower in carbs, feel free to lessen the onions and carrots used. Did you know onions are technically not keto?
Ingredients:
- 1 head green cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
- 1 small (or ½ medium) red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small white onion, thinly sliced
- 3 large carrots, grated
- 4 large kale leaves, stalk removed and cut into thin ribbons
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- ¾ c. apple cider vinegar
- ½ c. allulose
- ½ c. avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 T. Dijon mustard
- 2 t. celery seeds
How to Make This Carolina Coleslaw Recipe (no mayo)
- Add cabbage, red onion, white onion, carrots, and kale to a large bowl and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss to combine and set aside.
- Add the vinegar and allulose to a small saucepan set over medium heat. Stir the mixture until the allulose thoroughly dissolves, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the oil, Dijon mustard, and celery seeds. While still warm, pour over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine thoroughly.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours to overnight before serving. Enjoy!
Not Exactly Low-carb, But Close
It’s important to note that this is not a low-carb salad but a coleslaw made without mayonnaise. Omitting the carrots can make this Carolina coleslaw slightly more keto-friendly.
Most of the carbs come from the cabbage, so watch your portions. One cup of cabbage has only 2.9 grams of carbs, though. It’s also important to note that the nutritional value app that we use is sometimes slightly inaccurate. We do our best.
