I love a good keto slaw recipe, especially as the weather heats up! It’s a great summer side, since you can usually avoid turning on the stove or oven to make one. This low carb “red, white, and bleu” slaw gets its name from the key ingredients: red cabbage, white cabbage, and blue cheese. Diced bacon adds some extra flavor, and a light dressing brings everything together.

Like most keto slaws, this recipe will taste best if you let it rest for a little bit before serving. It’s still very quick and easy to make overall though! I like it as a keto barbecue side dish, since it doesn’t require any extra cooking (aside from the bacon). Just toss everything together before (or while) the meat goes on the grill. For a keto slaw with a different flavor profile, try my almond sesame brussels sprouts slaw.
