Introduction

In trying to make a lower carb or low fat coleslaw, I tried several things including changing the mayonnaise, different vinegars and sugars. This is the best tasting I could come up with but still lower the carbs considerably from the original recipe I had been using from 13g carbs & 11g of sugar to 7.1g carbs & 5.7g of sugar. This makes a nice coleslaw that's still a little sweet. It may be possible to reduce the sugars further by using a sugar substitute.
