Low Carb Thai Peanut Slaw

Low Carb Thai Peanut Slaw- with cabbage, cilantro, crunchy chopped peanuts and a spicy/sweet peanut dressing, this Asian-flavored slaw is a light and healthy side to serve with any type of protein.

This delicious side dish is low carb, gluten-free, and dairy-free. It makes the perfect side for grilled chicken, fish, or a low carb burger and I love it with shrimp.

To speed up the prep time, I use a bag of shredded coleslaw mix, but you could absolutely buy a cabbage and shred it yourself. You’ll need about 5 to 6 cups.

The peanut dressing is wonderful blend of natural peanut butter, rice vinegar, coconut aminos, erythritol, seasme oil, ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes. Plus a little half-and-half to thin it some and add some creaminess. It’s perfectly salty, sweet, spicy, and tangy.

To make it spicier, add some Sriracha sauce before servings.

I use Swerve (erythritol) for the sweetener but you can use the sweetener of your choice.

Once mixed together, refrigerate Low Carb Thai Peanut Slaw for at least 1 hour to let the flavors mingle. Keep in mind that the coleslaw will get less and less crunchy over time.

What additional ingredients can be added?

Matchstick carrots, thinly sliced red bell pepper, and edamame are all good choices. You can even thinly slice some snow peas and use them for more flavor and a little more sweetness.
