A Delicious Creamy Low Syn Coleslaw that makes the perfect side dish for grilled meats and barbecues.
Homemade coleslaw is so easy to make, and you don’t even have to chop up all that veg, if you buy bagged coleslaw mix.
I like the addition of red onion in mine, as it adds great flavour, so I also slice up some red onion very thinly and mix that in too.
I like to use a reduced fat olive oil mayonnaise as it’s flavour is just as good as the regular stuff but for less syns. Mixed with yogurt, lemon juice and a little maple syrup and seasoning I really don’t notice the difference from the ready made creamy coleslaw you can buy.
Also for variation you can add some curry powder, or skip the maple syrup and add in some grated apple instead for the sweetness.

November 14, 2010 at 12:58 pmMade this coleslaw today and it was lovely, missed out the mango chutney, I didn’t have any but in doing so reduced the syns. I would not have believed that it would have tasted so nice. Thank you so much for all your recipes, I have the beef stroggonoff in the slow cooker for dinner tonight.
