Keto Coleslaw Dressing
This low carb, Paleo, Keto coleslaw dressing is super easy to make and therefore makes it the ultimate Keto coleslaw dressing recipe! Creamy paleo mayo is blended with lemon juice, rice wine vinegar, spicy horseradish, onion powder, country mustard, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. The creamy, yet slightly spicy dressing is poured over fresh-cut cabbage (or any premade coleslaw mix if you are short on time).
How much coleslaw should I use with this amount of dressing?
If you like heavy dressing, use about 16 oz of coleslaw mix or cabbage if you want a lighter amount of dressing use about 26 oz total cabbage.
Do I have to use horseradish?
No, the horseradish is optional, and you can simply remove it from the recipe if you don’t like it.
What if I do not have rice wine vinegar?
If you do not have rice wine vinegar, you can use white wine vinegar or champagne vinegar instead as they have similar flavors. Another alternative is to use only fresh lemon juice, but the contrast between the two kinds of vinegar is very delicious.
Do I have to toss this in a coleslaw mix?
No, you can save the dressing and use it on top of any other salad mix you would like or toss it on an individual serving of coleslaw mix right before serving, which is excellent if you are the only Keto person in your family.
Suggested pairing
Once you have the dressing made and tossed on cabbage, you can pair coleslaw with this delicious Keto BBQ shrimp recipe.
