This keto tuna coleslaw combines tuna salad with coleslaw and the result is a winning combination! This salad is creamy, satisfying, and low in carbs. My family loves this fun version of coleslaw and I hope you and your family will as well!

Let’s talk about the ingredients that go into this keto tuna coleslaw!

For our salad, we start with a package of coleslaw mix. You can use any mix you’d like, just make sure you’re not buying a coleslaw mix with dressing, since the dressing will likely be high in carbs. If you’d like, you can always make your own homemade coleslaw mix. To our coleslaw mix, we add some diced red pepper and diced onion. I like the sweetness of red peppers, but you could use any color bell pepper for your salad. For the tuna, since we are adding a creamy dressing, you’ll want to use tuna packed in water and not tuna packed in oil. You can use regular or albacore tuna for this coleslaw. You’ll want to make sure you drain your tuna well before adding it to the coleslaw.

How do you make the dressing for this dish creamy and delicious, and still keep it keto and low carb?

There are a few things we do with our dressing to make it wonderfully rich and delicious while keeping it low carb and keto. First, we use keto mayonnaise. I like the Chosen Foods brand avocado oil mayonnaise, but you can use any sugar free keto mayo you’d prefer. Sour cream helps to make our dressing creamy and gives it awesome flavor. It’s also naturally low carb. You will want to use full fat sour cream as it is lower in carbs. Mustard adds a tang to our dressing and is also low in carbs. We then add a little keto sugar to help balance our flavors. I used the Swerve brand. It contains zero calories and zero net grams of carbs. Lemon juice, salt, and pepper give our dressing amazing flavor and are all low in carbs. All these ingredients make for an awesome tasting low carb dressing!

How can I serve this keto tuna coleslaw?

Because this coleslaw contains tuna, it’s more filling that regular coleslaw. You could even serve this, as is, for a light meal. It works great as a side dish and pairs nicely with all kinds of casseroles and meats. Serve this dish at your next barbecue, picnic, or get together and get ready for the recipe requests! You can also serve this coleslaw atop some lettuce or in a lettuce wrap. Pair this with one of your favorite keto soups for a nice soup and salad meal. You can also serve this with your favorite keto bread, biscuits, or English muffins.
