I bought a chopping attachment for my hand blender and have a head of
cabbage, some lemon juice and some Duke's sugar free mayo in my fridge.
Anybody have a good low-carb recipe for cole slaw?
TIA

Hi Peter,
Try my Grecian cabbage salad:
Shredded Cabbage
Lemon Juice
Olive Oil
Maybe some fresh dill if you have any (if it's dried it doesn't taste the
same)
I also throw in a bit of chopped green onion if I have some around.
No mayo needed1

I LOVED KFC cole slaw...
So I adapted the Top Secret Recipe's version to low carb.
It's really really good. The amount of carrots is small considering how
much it makes... but you need them for color.
Here you go:
Low Carb KFC Cole Slaw
8 cups finely chopped cabbage (about 1 head)
1/4 cup shredded carrot (1 medium carrot)
2 tablespoons minced onion
1/3 cup Splenda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1. Be sure cabbage and carrots are chopped up into very fine pieces
(about the size of rice).
2. Combine the Splenda, salt, pepper, milk, mayonnaise, buttermilk,
vinegar, and lemon juice in a large bowl and beat until smooth.
3. Add the cabbage, carrots, and onion, and mix well.
4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Serves 10-12

Yikes, is that right?!
I just made a 2 cup version. I didn't think it needed sweetening much.
I put 1 packet of splenda and thought that was enough. 1/3 of a cup
sounds like candy!

I'd assume that this recipe is using the bulk Splenda for baking, NOT the
little tiny packages that one would use for sweetening your coffee.

Well the packets are fairly sweet so that makes it sound like the bulk
stuff is just more filler than splenda. Just so it looks like a lot of
product. Maybe it is done so you can substitue it for equal amounts to
sugar. That actually sounds worse than the packet--since people have
said that the bulk filler added to the tiny grams of actual sucralose
is what gives splenda an aftertaste. (Hence liquid tastes better).

True. Its made so that you use equal amounts of it as you would regular
sugar (1:1 substitution). Even the Splenda in the regular packets is almost
all filler. Supposedly you'd need like some microscopic amount of it if it
didn't have the fillers.

I loved KFC too, and this recipe is good. I did put a tsp of dijon
mustard in it. Also I use Mann's Broccoli Cole Slaw instead. It is
slightly less carby(more fiber) than cabbage. I had a bowl with dinner
last night and another mellowing in the fridge for today.
This will definitely be a common recipe in the future, thanks.

mayo, splenda and a bit of vinegar.. i use balsamic because i like the
flavor.. it's got a tiny bit of carbs tho so some avoid it. i figure i use
such a tiny amount it doesn't matter.. mix it all up and dump it over
cabbage stir it in and it's sooo good. no specific amounts.. just add stuff
until it's 8just right* lol.

I used to make something called "Peter Rabbit Salad" before I was LC, out of an
old Beatrix Potter Cookbook.
Over time it was simplified from cabbage, radishes, scallions, etc, to
something that became a very basic, creamy cole slaw.
After LC I substituted sour cream for yogurt. (Creme fraiche has also worked
well.)
So what I do now for a creamy (but not sweet), yummy slaw:
Chop some cabbage.
Add generous dollops of mayo and sour cream (about 2:1 mayo:sc, more or less to
taste). Add salt and pepper. Lots of pepper is really good. Mix, mix, mix.
And that's all I do. It's amazingly delicious.

I do mine very similar but add hot sauce to taste. I made it with Smoked
Tabasco last week. Delicious.

I'll be making this for dinner tonight with some kielbasa:
chopped or shredded cabbage
chopped onion
" olives
celery seed
cider vinegar
mayo
I never measure anything, but for two people I think I use 2 cups
cabbage, maybe 1/4 cup onion depending on how strong it is, about six
green olives, a shake or two of celery seed, two spoons of vinegar (I
like mine sour) and just enough mayo to hold it together. It's crispy,
crunchy, sour, and not gloppy.

Thanks for all the great suggestions everyone!
I decided to just "wing it," using bits and pieces of your suggestions.
At lunchtime a while go I chopped up the cabbage with my hand blender
chopping attachment. Added sugar-free Duke's mayonnaise and sour cream in
about a 2 to 1 ratio. Added a bit of Splenda and a healthy dose of lemon
juice. Also some black pepper and lite salt. (I didn't have any onions or
carrots, np). It actually came out very good. In fact, ikt was so good that
I could have eaten the whole batch in one sitting if I were to let myself
...
Thanks again for the help.
