Summer is approaching and it’s just about time to start firing up the grill! When I think barbecue, I also think cole slaw.

This simple coleslaw recipe is an excellent side for low carb and Keto diets, and no one will ever know the difference!

Did you know that the term coleslaw comes from the Dutch meaning Cabbage Salad? And though there are many versions of coleslaw around the world, this crunchy and creamy version is always a favorite and it only takes 5 minutes to make!

Keto Coleslaw Ingredients

  • Cole Slaw Mix
  • Mayonnaise
  • Sour Cream
  • Heavy Whipping Cream
  • Swerve Confectioners
  • Lemon Juice
  • Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Dijon Mustard
  • Celery Salt
  • Garlic Salt
  • Fresh Ground Pepper

*Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.

How to Make Keto Coleslaw

With just a few ingredients and these easy to follow steps, you can have perfectly healthy and low carb coleslaw in a snap!

First, combine all the ingredients, except the cole slaw mix, into a mixing bowl and whisk together.

Next, add your cabbage mix to a large bowl and pour the dressing over the top.

All you have to do next is toss well to combine and you’re all set!


You can either serve this tasty, low carb slaw immediately or refrigerate it until chilled. The longer it sits in the refrigerator, the more the cabbage absorbs the flavors of the dressing.

The great thing about this Keto cole slaw is you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to five days!

Is Cole Slaw Keto Friendly?

This question is asked a lot. The answer is, ABSOLUTELY! Quite frankly, coleslaw is the perfect Keto side dish.

Because cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable, that makes it low in carbs but loaded with nutrients.

How Many Carbs in Coleslaw?

The main ingredient in this Keto cole slaw is cabbage which is a very low carb vegetable. One serving of this recipe only has 2 net carbs.

Healthy Benefits of Cabbage

Not only is coleslaw a good choice for a low carb side dish, the main ingredient, cabbage, has many healthy benefits. It’s a great source for vitamins B6 and C, folate, fiber and antioxidants.

Studies show these nutrients help reduce inflammation, heart disease, arthritis and other chronic illnesses. You can read more about the nutritional benefits of cabbage in this article.

Just made this. It was perfect except the apple cider vinegar was really strong. Any suggestions to tone down that flavor: not sure how it would affect the flavor profile to leave it out completely or if I would have to change other things if I changed that ratio. Suggestions?

You can just use a little less and add in water to make up the difference.

I tried several dressing recipes for coleslaw and this one is by far the best. The addition of sour cream and cream made this so creamy. I had to add some additional drops of stevia to the swerve because it just wasn’t sweet enough g]for me. Thank you so much.

Hi!
This looks amazing! Do I have to use Dijon mustard? Is there a substitute? It’s the only ingredient I don’t have. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

You can either leave it out or maybe use yellow mustard instead and it should still taste great!

It’s 1/6th of the entire recipe, so it’s a pretty decent amount.

Excellent recipe! I didn’t think I’d find another recipe to match my favorite pre-keto slaw recipe but this is fantasic …. every bit – if not better – than my original recipe. I made it the day before and let it sit so the flavors could meld. AWESOME! Thank you so much = )

Just made this to have some tomorrow for lunch with a burger at work. Accidently put 1t. Dijon but it wasn’t overpowering, nice zing. Also made it for broccoli slaw instead of cole slaw. Had to do a taste test. It’s really, really good! And VERY creamy!
