Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife for chopping

Ingredients

Cabbage mix

  • 3 cups shredded green cabbage 240g
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage 70g
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned 61g

Dressing

  • ½ cup mayonnaise 120 ml
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 30 ml
  • 1 tablespoon erythritol 12g
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder 2g
  • ½ teaspoon cumin 1g
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder 1g
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Garnish (optional)

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro 4g
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onions 6g
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice 15 ml

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and julienned carrot. Toss the vegetables until they are well mixed.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, erythritol, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Ensure that the dressing is smooth and the erythritol is completely dissolved.
  • Pour the dressing over the cabbage mix and toss until all the vegetables are evenly coated.
  • If using, sprinkle the chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, and drizzle the lime juice over the slaw. Toss again to distribute the garnish throughout the slaw.
  • Let the Taco Slaw sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve immediately, or for best flavor, cover and refrigerate for an hour before serving.

Notes

For a spicier slaw, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dressing.
The erythritol can be substituted with another keto-friendly sweetener if preferred, but be sure to adjust the amount based on the sweetness level of the alternative.
This slaw can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
