Low Carb Coleslaw

Low Carb Coleslaw Recipe:

1 package shredded cabbage, or shredded coleslaw mix. 
½ cup or so of Mayo
1/3 cup of white Vinegar
¼ cup of Splenda (use less if you like it less sweet and more zesty tasting, but I prefer it sweet)
Salt to taste 
Pepper to taste 

Mix the mayo, white vinegar, Splenda. Salt and pepper together until smooth and creamy. Add cabbage and stir. Let coleslaw cool and “marinate” for at least 1 hour prior to serving. If the coleslaw looks “dry” don’t worry, the longer it sits, the better it tastes, and it “makes” more dressing while in the fridge. You can add onions, and carrots if you’d like I don’t because of the carb count but if you buy a pre-made mix just go off of those values. Once you’re ready to serve stir it up again to “rewet it” and your good to go.

Low Carb Chicken Salad

Chicken Salad Recipe:

Firstly I will say I am not a cook that cooks with precise measurements, I like things zesty, and usually eyeball everything so most likely it will reflect in my recipes. J

Low Carb Chicken Salad
2 cooked chicken breasts from a Costco Rotisserie Chicken
2-3 heaping tbsp Mayo
2  heaping tbsp Sour Cream
1 medium onion
3 green onions
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste 
1tbsp Lemon Pepper
1/2 tbsp Garlic Powder
Celery if you like it (I don’t like celery so I omit this)

      Chop chicken into little pieces. Chop onions and green onions, add chicken, onions, mayo, sour cream, and seasonings into a bowl, and stir.  For the best results refrigerate it for at least 3 hours before eating to let it "marinate" 


Carb amount depends on the brand of mayo, sour cream.  Keep in mind ¼ cup of onions is around 4 carbs, so use less if you want a lesser carb amount/ I would say this recipe would make 3-4 servings of chicken salad. Use the whole chicken if you want more and adjust accordingly. I also make my tuna with the same recipe as above, call me boring but its tasty. J
