    No Mayo Apple Vinegar Coleslaw Recipe

    This dairy-free, vegan-friendly, paleo, low carb, low-sugar, no mayo apple vinegar coleslaw is refreshing and ultra-flavorful and packed high in Vitamin K!

    With only 1.5 grams of net carbs per half a cup, cabbage is keto-friendly and is delicious when made into a tangy, crunchy coleslaw salad! For those, who don't love mayonnaise, this vinegar-based coleslaw is a great source of vegetables that won't put you out of ketosis. It is far lighter than any you will find store-bought.

    This easy coleslaw recipe is perfect for parties, summer barbecues, and in general, as a side dish with your deep-fried chickens, pork cutlets or turkey sandos!

    5 Impressive Health Benefits of Cabbage

    1. Nutrient packed: In just 1 cup, raw cabbage contains

    • Calories: 22
    • Protein: 1 gram
    • Fiber: 2 grams
    • Vitamin K: 85% of the RDI
    • Vitamin C: 54% of the RDI
    • Folate: 10% of the RDI
    • Manganese: 7% of the RDI
    • Vitamin B6: 6% of the RDI
    • Calcium: 4% of the RDI
    • Potassium: 4% of the RDI
    • Magnesium: 3% of the RDI

    2. Reduces Inflammation: Cruciferous vegetables like cabbage contain many different antioxidants

    3. Helps Improve Digestion: This crunchy vegetable is full of gut-friendly insoluble fiber by adding bulk to stools and promoting regular bowel movements.

    4. Improves cardiovascular health and reduces coronary artery diseases: Red cabbages contain powerful compounds called anthocyanins (plant pigments that belong to the flavonoid family) which gives this vegetable its vibrant purple colour.

    5. Excellent Source of Vitamin K: Cabbage is an excellent source of vitamin K1 (critical for blood clotting), with 85% of the RDI in 1 cup (89 grams).

    My oldest memory of coleslaw was when my Dad brought home a family bucket of KFC. I remembered it to be thick and creamy. Instead of a rich, creamy high-fat dressing, all you really need is Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) and Old Fashion Mustard to make this lighter, more refreshing coleslaw!

    There is little sugar in this recipe. The sweetness comes from, just one or two tablespoons of maple syrup (vegan sweetener) or honey. You can adjust it to your preference!

    I love homemade coleslaw for this reason!

    It is also dairy-free, vegan-friendly, paleo, low carb, and low-sugar yet it is super flavourful! You can prepare this recipe in as little as 10 minutes!

    And the best thing about this no mayo coleslaw recipe? It tastes so much better overnight! So if you are meal prepping, planning a big party, or just want to enjoy a nice crunchy salad throughout the week? THIS ONE'S YOUR HERO!

    Although the ACV breaks down the cabbage a bit, the crunch still holds up really well. This salad won't get all soggy and the vegetables will not be wilted and withered - as you would see in other leafy greens.

    5 Apple Cider Vinegar Benefits

    Can using Apple Cider Vinegar on the Keto diet help burn more fat and help you lose more weight?

    ACV boasts some very powerful anti-glycemic properties when it is consumed with or just before a high-carbohydrate meal. The overall impact of drinking ACV is very small.

    1. Improve Gut Health: Raw, unpasteurized Apple Cider Vinegar is fermented and contains probiotics to promote good gut bacterias.
    2. Lowers Blood Sugars: ACV improves insulin sensitivities in high-carb meals by 19-34%; 2 tablespoons of ACV before bedtime can reduce fasting blood sugar in the morning by 4%; therefore, it helps fight diabetes.
    3. Helps you lose weight: Increases feelings of fullness and increases satiety to help you eat fewer calories.
    4. Lowers Cholesterol and Improves cardiovascular health: reduces blood triglycerides, cholesterol and blood pressure.
    5. Protective Effects Against Cancer: some studies show that vinegar consumption helps prevent cancer and shrink tumours.

      I'm not the biggest fan of mayo so this coleslaw is such an awesome solution. This will be a great side for summer BBQs.
