Keto Pineapple Coleslaw
You can make this coleslaw recipe in as little as 10 minutes! Just mix the ingredients together. If you want a more tender coleslaw and stronger flavors, you can marinate the coleslaw in your refrigerator for 30 minutes or more. Classic green cabbage coleslaw is mixed with a tangy blend of mayonnaise, lime juice, and cilantro. Diced pineapple and jalapeno give you a sweet and spicy combo. You can eat this coleslaw on the side with many of Carb Manager’s Keto recipes, but chicken, fish, shrimp, and pork dishes are recommended. If you’re vegetarian, this pineapple coleslaw would taste great on a Keto vegetarian taco! You can even add the coleslaw to burgers and wraps. If you have leftovers, store the pineapple coleslaw in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Turn This Coleslaw Into A Tasty Salad!
If you love the taste of pineapple, make the most of this opportunity to eat it on your Keto diet! Turn the coleslaw into a salad by mixing ½ ounce - 2 ounces of shredded green leaf or iceberg lettuce into the mix after you finish marinating the coleslaw. The tenderized cabbage and pineapple will become your salad components while the citrus and tangy coleslaw sauce becomes your dressing. You can add grilled chicken or shrimp to the salad for an even bigger meal.
How Can I Eat Pineapple On The Keto Diet?
Depending on how strict your Keto diet is, you can enjoy pineapple in small amounts. An ounce of pineapple is about 3 ½ grams of carbohydrates, and it’s almost entirely sugar. Although it’s natural sugar from the pineapple, it’s still a high-carb fruit that is typically avoided on the Keto diet. In small amounts, pineapple can be enjoyed. That’s why there’s only about ½ ounce of pineapple in each serving of this coleslaw recipe.

Recipe Steps

Step 1
Shred fresh green cabbage into a mixing bowl. You can also use shredded cabbage from a bag of dry coleslaw, but avoid using any other ingredients from the bag, like carrots. Dice fresh pineapple or pineapple from a can and the jalapeno. Diced ingredients are best for coleslaw, but you can leave larger pieces of pineapple or jalapeno if you wish. Add the diced ingredients to the cabbage, along with salt, lime juice, diced cilantro, and mayonnaise. Stir to combine.Step 2
Cover the mixing bowl and let the coleslaw marinate in your refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but you can marinate for longer. Your coleslaw can marinate for up to 24 hours, at your discretion. The longer you allow the coleslaw to marinate, the more flavors will develop and the ingredients will tenderize. If you like a crunchier coleslaw, use the shorter marination time.Step 3
Make sure to stir the coleslaw back together before you serve it to re-mix any separated liquids. It is likely your cabbage and pineapple have released a lot of excess liquid while marinating. You can garnish the coleslaw with more diced cilantro or jalapeno, but avoid adding extra pineapple. You can also garnish with any Keto seeds, like sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds.
