Tips for Making the Best Keto Coleslaw:
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh cabbage, carrots, and onions will give your coleslaw the best flavor and texture.
- Chill Before Serving: Letting the coleslaw sit in the fridge allows the flavors to blend and the cabbage to soften slightly.
- Adjust Sweetness and Acidity: Taste the dressing before adding it to the vegetables and adjust the sweetness and acidity to your liking.
- Low-Carb Variations: For a lower carb count, you can reduce or omit the carrot and onion or replace them with more keto-friendly vegetables like radishes or green onions.
Enjoy your keto-friendly coleslaw as a side dish at your next barbecue or as a crunchy topping for your favorite keto sandwiches and burgers!
