Let’s talk about the ingredients in our coleslaw!

For my coleslaw, I had some extra cabbage and used a combination of green and red. You can use whatever amount of each you’d like for your cabbage, and can either thinly slice it or roughly chop it. I love the convenience of using a bag of coleslaw mix and that would also work perfectly for this slaw. To our cabbage, we add diced green and red peppers and diced onions. You can use any color or color combination of bell peppers for your slaw. I used a yellow onion, but a red onion would be a great substitution. For my chicken, I used chicken breast meat. You can use either white or dark meat chicken, or a combination of light and dark for your coleslaw. An awesome quick and easy option is to use rotisserie chicken! I chopped my chicken but if you’d prefer, you could shred yours.

How do I make the dressing for this keto chicken fajita coleslaw?

The dressing for our coleslaw comes together quickly and easily, but oh my, it’s so delicious. It has a secret ingredient, keto fajita seasoning! I love my go-to homemade keto fajita seasoning mix, but you can use your favorite for your dressing. The homemade mix is delicious, with just a touch of heat and a touch of sweet. It’s a mild mixture so our dressing is nice and mild as well! The creamy base for our dressing combines keto mayonnaise and sour cream. I used the Chosen Foods brand avocado oil mayonnaise. When buying mayo, you’ll want to check the nutritional labels to make sure there isn’t added sugar or other ingredients you don’t want. I added a couple of tablespoons of fresh lime juice to give our dressing just a touch of tangy flavor. If you’d rather, you can substitute with bottled lime juice for your dressing.
