Cole SlawPhoto © Stephanie Frey
Normally I like to season this coleslaw dressing with Penzey's Buttermilk Ranch Seasoning, but when I'm out I make this, and it's almost as good. Actually, I've used many different ground herb and spice mixes, such as Greek Seasoning, and it's good that way as well. This cole slaw is great with barbecue or any grilled food. The cold creaminess is great up against hot BBQ spices.

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • Artificial sweetener to equal 2 T sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon plus one pinch salt
  • 1 lb cabbage, shredded

Preparation:

Mix all cole slaw dressing ingredients together, and then mix them into the cabbage. Balance the lemon juice and sweetener to your own taste.

Nutritional Information: This makes about 7 servings of 1 cup each. Each serving has 4 grams effective carbohydrate plus 2 grams fiber, 2 grams protein, and 145 calories.

I don't even LIKE coleslaw!!!, Guest Sarah

Seriously, I don't even like coleslaw... I made this because I was making pulled pork and every recipie I came across said coleslaw goes GREAT with that. Plus I could make both things a day ahead of time :) I used the angelhair cabbage from my local grocery store. It was a 10 oz bag so I saved some and cut the recipe in half. I tried a little bit of it to see what I would tweak... The answer? NOTHING. This was awesome! I always like more garlic or more pepper, etc. But I didn't want to mess with this recipie, it was THAT good. I'm so glad I found this, I have another side dish I can eat on my low carb diet now :)
