This easy recipe for gluten free coleslaw has a creamy, homemade dressing. This healthy salad is keto and low carb friendly. I walk you through how to make the best gluten free coleslaw.
I make this salad multiple times during the summer. It's so simple to make and is even better the second night after the cabbage has marinated in the sauce.
I like to use the prepackaged coleslaw mix. I usually buy the package with carrots in it, but if you are Keto or low carb you can get the bags without carrots. You could also finely chop up heads of cabbage on your own.
As we start to get cabbage from the garden I will chop up my own cabbage and run carrots through the food processor or mandolin slicer for this salad.
Does coleslaw have gluten in it?
This largely depends upon what type of vinegar you use. Malt vinegars are made from barley and would contain gluten. In this recipe I use apple cider vinegar which is usually safe.
As always make sure you read the label to make sure nothing that contains gluten has been added to the apple cider vinegar. I like the tanginess the apple cider vinegar adds to the salad.
Is coleslaw ok on Keto or low carb diets?
Yes. Coleslaw makes a fantastic side dish while on a Keto or low carb diet.
How long does gluten free coleslaw keep?
Coleslaw is generally fine for 2-4 days in the refrigerator. I actually like coleslaw the best on the second day after the cabbage has marinated in the sauce.
Be sure not to leave your coleslaw out in the sun or warm temperatures so the dressing doesn't spoil. The gluten free coleslaw needs to go back in the refrigerator after you've served it.
