After coming back from vacation I wanted to add more veggies to my diet. I went to a Fresh Thyme market and saw a pretty head of Savoy cabbage and decided to make this crunchy, delicious keto Asian salad.

I personally love any kind of colorful and healthy salad and my husband loves Asian salad dressing so this crunchy cabbage salad works for both of us. It’s sweet and savory and definitely filling. We ate it as a side dish for dinner and then for lunch the next day.

This keto slaw would also be great to take to your next party or picnic. It’s definitely a crowd pleaser and great for those on a low carb diet. With only 125 calories this cabbage salad is a low calorie side dish too!

Cabbage salad ingredients I used.

The simple ingredients I used for the nutritious salad base was chopped Savoy cabbage, red onions, fresh cilantro and sweet bell peppers. I added chopped roasted peanuts as a garnish but you can use sunflower seeds, sliced almonds, cashews, pecans or sesame seeds as a substitute.

I used Savoy cabbage because I like the looser and crinkly leaves. It’s also milder than regular green cabbage and worked great in this slaw. (learn more about it here.) However you can substitute with another variety if you want.

Keto Asian salad dressing ingredients I used.

The ingredients of the keto Asian salad dressing where soy sauce, sesame oil, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic chili sauce and Swerve brown sugar sweetener. If you want to more heat to this dressing you can always use some hot pepper flakes.

Note that many people substitute coconut aminos for soy sauce if you have problems with soy. However it has sweetness to it so put in less of the sweetener and taste. If it needs more sweetness add more Swerve.

Recipes using garlic chili sauce.

It’s usually available in most grocery stores as well as in Asian markets. You can also buy it on Amazon. It’s a good condiment to have in your refrigerator or panty.

How to make keto Asian salad.

1. Thinly slice the red onion and bell peppers. Place the shredded cabbage and the rest of the vegetables in a large salad bowl along with the cilantro leaves.
2. Mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, apple cider vinegar, olive oil and garlic chili sauce.
3. Pour the Asian dressing over the cabbage salad and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
