“This is a simple coleslaw made using Easy Homemade Mayonnaise. I also ‘quick-pickled’ red onions (which add even more crunch) before stirring through freshly chopped parsley for additional fresh flavour! Hello low carb summer BBQs!” – Monya

The key ingredient in this keto coleslaw is the Savoy cabbage. Known for its delicate and crinkled leaves, Savoy cabbage offers a mild and slightly sweet flavour, making it perfect for a refreshing salad. Its low-carb content aligns perfectly with the principles of a keto diet, ensuring you stay within your dietary goals.
Complementing the Savoy cabbage is the pickled red onion. The process of pickling the onions in vinegar adds a zesty and tangy element to the coleslaw. Pickled red onions provide a burst of flavour and a splash of colour contrast to the dish.
Whether enjoyed as a side dish or as a light meal on its own, this keto coleslaw is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

Hi, I bought your first book and love the recipes. I just found the website and really like some of the recipes to supplement the book, but I cant use a computer in my kitchen so need to print a copy to get it right. By disabling the usual print function (in order to try and save the planet) you have actually done the opposite as a simple 1 page set of instructions turns into a 7 page print full of adverts and unwanted text from my browser. I’ve tried to copy just the recipe text to notepad but this is disabled too. Please, please add a simple Print function.
Thanks Chris, I will work on that this week! xxxxxx So glad you love the recipe :)
Drop me a line if you have any questions or comments about this recipe. I will do my best to reply as soon as possible! Monya xxx
