The key ingredient in this vibrant slaw is red cabbage, known for its bold colour and numerous health benefits. Packed with essential nutrients and antioxidants, red cabbage provides a low-carbohydrate alternative to traditional salad bases, making it ideal for those following the keto diet. Its crunchy texture adds a refreshing element to the dish, while its subtly sweet flavour pairs perfectly with the tanginess of mayonnaise.
 
When the red cabbage and mayonnaise combine, a magical transformation occurs—the slaw turns into a vivid pink delight. This eye-catching hue is not only visually appealing but also a testament to the natural compounds found in red cabbage, such as anthocyanins, which have antioxidant properties.
 
This fusion of crunch and creaminess, with its bright pink colour, brings joy to both the eyes and the taste buds. Whether you’re following the keto diet or simply seeking a refreshing, low-carb option, this salad is a must-try. Embrace your culinary creativity and enjoy a bowl of this keto-friendly delight!

Calories: 141kcal | Carbohydrates: 2.7g | Protein: 0.9g | Fat: 14g

Equipment

• sharp knife
• kitchen scale
• colander

Ingredients

• 250 g (8.8 oz) red cabbage, sliced very thinly
• salt
• 100 g (3.5 oz) red wine vinegar
• 70 g (2.5 oz) mayonnaise
• sea salt flakes
• chopped herbs of your choice, (optional)

Instructions

• Use a sharp knife to slice your cabbage as thinly as possible.
  
• Place into a large bowl and season with a little salt. Pour over the red wine vinegar and toss well to evenly coat. Leave in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. (Stirring it every now and then helps to ensure the cabbage is evenly 'marinating' in the acidic vinegar.)
  
• After 30 minutes, drain the cabbage in a colander to remove any excess vinegar.
  
• Tip the drained cabbage into a bowl and stir through the mayonnaise. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with salt flakes.
• Serve with some herbs or salad leaves if you want to (this is optional and not included in the macros).
