Keto Coleslaw & Easy Creamy Dressing

I had a wonderful client who innocently asked one evening what other side dishes she can have on Keto after about 2 months into her journey. She mentioned that she was tired of eating salad and broccoli everyday. 

Lets get this straight, Keto is NOT limiting and anyone who thinks this needs some keto food inspiration. Luckily I love to eat and cook food for my friends and family so new recipes and things to "ketofy" are constantly on my mind. The coleslaw ingredients I saw on someones Facebook page and I've added something special to mine to give it a nice crunch. However, the dressing is completely fool-proof and came from staple items i had in my pantry at the time. It's a creamy, tangy dressing that is slightly sweet and perfect to warm summer bbq.

You probably see the carrots in the photo and are first to exclaim that carrots are NOT KETO.... LOL (Hello keto police ;-)) Yes, I know. But when you are a busy mom of 3 and you can buy a bag of pre-shredded cabbage/coleslaw mix at the store, you deal with a few shreds of carrots. LOL. Remember my friends, Progress Over Perfection.

We used to go to this great little restaurant in our area that made coleslaw with green apples. They were so tart and crisp and offered a nice sweet crunch to the slaw. Since apples are out on keto, I decided to use jicama!!! Fresh jicama (don't buy the precut ones in the tubs because chances are they are dry and older) is best. Buy the jicama root and peel and chop it yourself. It'll be sweeter and crispier. This surprise ingredient is keto friendly and offers a nice crunchy, sweetness to any keto coleslaw recipe! Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 package coleslaw
1/2 cup jicama, julienned sliced
1/2 lb pastrami
4 oz swiss cheese, grated

Dressing Ingredients:
​1 cup avocado mayo
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3-4 tablespoons Monkfruit sweetener
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
pinch of salt

Directions:

1. Combine all the dressing ingredients into a bowl and mix until combined.
2. Mix all the coleslaw ingredients into a large bowl.
3. Toss the dressing with the coleslaw and refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
