Keto Coleslaw

Coleslaw is a BBQ necessity, and the cabbage in coleslaw not only packs great nutrients but is low carb at just 2 grams of net carbs per CUP of shredded cabbage and combined with a high quality, high fat dressing or mayonnaise, it’s the perfect accompaniment for any keto barbecue to top on burgers and sandwiches or serve on the side with your grilled chicken.

Health Benefits of Cabbage

In addition to being low carb, cabbage is packed with fiber and nutrients like vitamin K, vitamin C, folate, calcium and magnesium. The high Vitamin C content is essential as we age – it helps with collagen production and can reduce cancer risk. Cabbage also contains powerful antioxidants that protect your body from free radical damage and keeps inflammation at bay. Cabbage has also been known to help with everything from lowering cholesterol levels and blood pressure and contributes to heart health.

Coleslaw usually has some sweetness – which comes from sugar in most traditional recipes – so I use a substitute, either Swerve or erythritol. While you can also omit the sugar, if you’re going for that classic coleslaw flavor and want to keep it keto, go for the sweetener. So go ahead and make that keto coleslaw to go with your BBQ!

Keto Coleslaw

No BBQ is complete without coleslaw! Not only is cabbage so good for you, this keto version is perfect on bunless burgers and with grilled chicken.
