This easy keto broccoli slaw can be on your table in around 5 minutes with zero chopping required! Dairy free, it keeps for up to a week in the fridge and is great for meal prepping or for large summer parties. The broccoli flavor is mild enough for even picky kids to enjoy!
I’m a huge fan of keto slaws – they are usually easy to make and are a super versatile side dish to almost anything. I get sick of leafy green salads after awhile, and I don’t always feel like a hot vegetable side dish either. That’s where this keto broccoli slaw comes in.
It’s made from the store-bought broccoli slaw mix that you can find in your grocer’s produce section – so you don’t need any fancy equipment or knife skills to make this happen.
The dressing is easy to throw together as well, meaning you could be eating this keto broccoli slaw in five minutes or less. In fact, it will take you less time to make this slaw than it will for me to finish typing up this post!
Don’t be put off by the fact that it’s a broccoli slaw either. For some reason there is very little broccoli flavor in this slaw – even Mr. Hungry, a sworn broccoli hater from childhood had some at dinner time and loved it!
In fact if you didn’t tell people that it was broccoli, I don’t think they would guess on their own – so that might be the way to go if you’re serving it to your broccoli challenged family. ;)
You’ll find this keto broccoli slaw featured in the Week 3 Keto 7 Day Menu Plan but if you don’t want to wait, by all means make it ASAP!

How do you feel about xylitol for a sweetener?
Kyle says
I do this a lot but cook a couple slices of bacon and pour about half of the bacon fat into the dressing. The Bacon flavour is amazing with the mayo.
Terri says
hmmm, think I’ll throw in a bit of red onion some crumbled bacon and sunflower seeds, maybe some raisons, kind of like the “other” broccoli salad without all the chopping! YUM
Mellissa Sevigny says
Sounds delicious Terri! Just be sure to count the carbs in those raisins if you’re doing keto so you don’t get thrown out of ketosis!
Andrea S. says
Thank you! I’ve been super hungry for broccoli slaw lately!
Christine Wokowsky says
Love this idea and love all sorts of slaws. Just make sure that your mayonnaise is not made from soybean oil. We have enough phytoestrogens for foods we eat and xenoestrogens from the environment, we don’t need any more soy products.
Mellissa Sevigny says
So true Christine, thanks for that reminder!!!

I’m with Hungry Jr. I don’t care for creamy Cole slaw dressings. I have a wonderful lemon vinaigrette I love to use on my slaw. I can hand shred a quarter head of cabbage and toss with my vinaigrette faster than I can get the package not slaw opened. And a quarter of an apple, cut in matchsticks, is, also, a good addition. ;)
Mellissa Sevigny says
Sounds delicious Malainie, thanks for sharing! I love adding some granny smith apple matchsticks to mine sometimes too!
Pat says
Another great double-duty, high-fiber ingredient. You used the broccoli slaw in your Asian Chicken recipe too. Looking forward to enjoying both recipes in Week 3.
Mellissa Sevigny says
I’m trying to consolidate ingredients and shopping to make the menu planning easier for everyone which is why I used it on two recipes that week! Hope it was helpful and that you enjoyed both recipes!!
Pat says
Had the Asian Chicken for dinner tonight. Intense flavors really make a difference. I can see using that sauce w/ shrimp and miracle or zucchini noodles. So good. I’m going away this weekend and packing up my broccoli slaw and its dressing separately to go with my ribs. Also made the rib sauce ahead to travel w/ me, plus my two soups and my LC pancakes. No cheating for me while away for Superbowl weekend. Why would I; this food is too good to leave at home.
Mellissa Sevigny says
Way to be prepared Pat! Have a great time!!!
Dancingtigga says
I’m a big fan of coleslaw too, have never sweetened it though, think’s an American thing! Try a simple coleslaw of shredded cabbage, carrot and red onion, coated with a tbsp of white wine vinegar leave for an hour to soften slightly and flavour with a combination of chipotle paste and sugar free mayo – does wonders for a roast chicken.
Mellissa Sevigny says
That sounds delicious! I especially like the chipotle paste idea – I’d probably stir in some cilantro too and really take it in a latin american direction! May have to experiment with that soon – thanks! :)
Brandi Joy says
I can’t figure or how to a new comment, so… I made the broccoli slaw tonight and it’s AMAZING! The recipe says 2 net carbs. How many total carbs are in a serving. I don’t count net carbs. Thank you!
Jan says
That dressing looks like the perfect replacement for the high carb Marzetti slaw dressing that I grew up with! Thanks!
Mellissa Sevigny says
Thanks Jan – it’s sweet and has the celery seed flavor of a classic slaw so hopefully it will measure up to your old favorite!
shannon says
love this, Mellissa! I forget that things like this can be really low-carb if you do it right: i know i’ve told you i’m not mega-doing it like you are, but i’m always looking for lower-carb things to keep in rotation, since i try to monitor my carb intake as much as i can (when i’m not eating, like, cake…mrph). great recipe!
Mellissa Sevigny says
Thanks Shannon – and when you are cutting out carbs in other areas, you can afford to eat cake sometimes! Though I don’t know how you do it with all of the scrumptious baked goods you’re always posting! I’d weight a thousand pounds! ;)
