Light and Tangy Low-Calorie Coleslaw:

Coleslaw is pretty much the perfect side dish. The unique flavor is the perfect addition to rich protein dishes, and as a bonus you get some healthy greens in, too! But most coleslaw, if you look closely, is made with a lot of mayo and sugar. Both perfectly fine every now and then but probably not something we would include in our major food groups (whatever those major food groups are looking like these days!). Today I want to share with you a really light and tangy low-calorie coleslaw dish that is perfect for the 21 Day Fix, Weight Watchers, and anyone who wants all the coleslaw but not all the mayo and sugar.

Light and Tangy Low-Calorie Coleslaw

This coleslaw makes 6 cups. A one cup serving is sitting right around 50 calories and only 4 carbs. So not only is this coleslaw low-cal, it’s also super low-carb, too!

You’ve got a super healthy dish that works for multiple programs. It’s ideal for the 21 Day Fix (and all Portion Fix programs). It’s only 1 WW point. And because the carbs are so low, this is a great keto coleslaw, too! Just for some comparison, an average fast food coleslaw recipe is closer to 300 calores and 30 carbs (sugar and mayo, y’all).

We most recently had this with our favorite Crock Pot Pulled Pork recipe. Pulled pork is a rich, sweet main dish. This coleslaw was the perfect way to offset the richness. Another great way to combine the two is in BBQ Pulled Pork Lettuce Wraps, which use this coleslaw recipe as a filling!

And real quick, can we just talk about this cute dish? I love these vintage dishes. They remind me of my childhood (yes, I am definitely vintage at this point). This one in particular I picked up at an antique shop in downtown Mabank, TX…I was with my mom, and she had the same dish way back when. It makes me so happy!
