My family loves a good coleslaw when we grill and I was trying to find away to make our favorite side with fewer calories. Using light mayo really cuts a ton of calories and replacing the sugar lightens it up even more. I recommend using a good quality light mayo since it is the base for the dressing . If you make these slight changes to your traditional coleslaw you will never be able to tell the difference. This is great for a family but if you are serving a crowd I recommend doubling the recipe.

We aren’t fans of coleslaw with sugar, your sugar free recipe was absolutely perfect. It’ll be on our rotation all cookout season.
What a perfect recipe for summer without all the guilt! Love the tip on letting it sit and not adding more dressing.
I love to make coleslaw for bbq’s and have always used bottled dressing. Glad to have your that is so easy to make and tasty without the sugar.

I love a sugar-free coleslaw and this one is so easy and delicious!
I love coleslaw, it’s my favorite side dish for roast chicken. Your recipe is so perfectly seasoned! Doesn’t need any sugar, it’s super flavorful and just perfect as is. It’s the best homemade coleslaw I’ve ever made so I will come back to it again and again!
me and my husband have been trying to give up sugar once a week (baby steps!) and this would work perfect for that day! Thank you so much for the recipe 🙂
We also love coleslaw as a side at bbqs, and with burgers! I love how you’ve made this lighter and sugar free. Will be trying next weeked for our first bbq this year!
I would have never thought I could use splenda on coleslaw. I had some friends over and a couple of them are diabetic and this was an easy recipe I knew they could eat. Very easy to prepare.
