Let’s talk about our coleslaw mixture!

I love making dishes from scratch and enjoy chopping my own cabbage to make coleslaw. But I also love the convenience of using coleslaw mixes from a bag. Either is a great option for this dish. Pre-made coleslaw mixes usually contain a combination of green and red cabbage, along with shredded carrots. The amount of carrots added are minimal in pre-made mixes. If you make your own coleslaw mix, you can choose exactly how much green and red cabbage you use, and also can choose if you want to add shredded carrots. Some other fun coleslaw options include adding some chopped broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cucumbers, kohlrabi, or radishes. Another fun option is to add some Napa cabbage to your coleslaw mix. You can also add some chopped pecans or walnuts or even pumpkin or sunflower seeds!

What’s the best ranch dressing to use for this keto bacon ranch coleslaw?

I absolutely love ranch dressing. I enjoy using it as a salad dressing and as a dip. I’m always searching for new ranch dressing options when I go shopping, but finding a keto ranch dressing, made with good oils and no added sugar that’s not crazy expensive and that tastes good is not an easy task. That’s why I usually make homemade ranch dressing. It’s quick and easy to make and it’s amazingly creamy and delicious. I make a quick and easy keto buttermilk to make my ranch dressing by combining heavy whipping cream with white vinegar and allowing it to set a few minutes. Then I add some keto mayonnaise sour cream along with a quick and easy homemade ranch seasoning mix. When you make your own dressing, you can adjust the herbs and spices and the amount of salt you use to suit your taste preferences.

What are some ways I can serve this keto bacon ranch coleslaw?

You have some awesome low carb options for serving this coleslaw. It’s a great choice for any lunch, brunch, or dinner meal. This dish is also a big hit at barbecues, potlucks, and all kinds of get togethers. You can pair this salad with all kinds of meats including beef, chicken, pork, and seafood. It’s a perfect side for grilled meats. You can serve this coleslaw with burgers, brats, and lettuce wraps. I especially love serving coleslaw with pulled chicken, pulled pork, and meatloaf too. You can also serve this dish with roasts, steak, and seafood mains. Another great option is to  serve this salad with keto casseroles. You can serve this salad as is, but for a pretty presentation you can sprinkle some additional bacon or some chopped green onions or chives over it before serving.
