Ingredients

  • 1¼ cups 300 ml mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 lb 450 g green cabbage
  • 1½ lbs 650 g deli roast beef
  • 4 oz. 110 g cherry tomatoes
  • 4 4 dill pickledill pickles
  • salt and pepper
This recipe has been added to the shopping list.

Instructions

  1. Mix mayonnaise and mustard in a big bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Shred the cabbage finely and add to the bowl. Mix with the mayo blend and let sit for a couple of minutes.
  3. Place roast beef, tomatoes, and dill pickles on a plate together with a hearty scoop of coleslaw. Serve cold or room temperature.

Tip

Make it even easier by buying your cabbage pre-shredded! Just watch the ingredients or Nutrition Facts Label for hidden carbs (like you may find in blends with lots of carrots). We do not recommend deli-made coleslaw; there tends to be added sugar in the dressing.

    Mr Karen here: I added a Tbsp vinegar, some chopped onion, and a few squirts of stevia. Yum.

    I leave the mustard out and just add a little stevia and a tablespoon of finely diced onion. Easy and tastes good.

    Glad you enjoy the additions to the recipe but for me I just don't want to use Stevia or the likes if I can help it. Doing my best to retrain my palate, as my London nutritionist told me to do. I find there is enough sweetness in the cabbage and the mayo as it stands and am aiming at not changing anything in these recipes unless I'm told by Andreas that can! Keeping the carbs and quantities as they are and not adding anymore. Mayo is in grammes in Britain but lucky I kept my non- full fat one that says it's nearly the same! Good luck to everyone!

    Anyone know in Britain what are dill pickles or their substitute? Thanks! My supermarket has never heard of them.

    Perhaps on looking at the picture they are small pickled gherkins?

    Una, they don’t have dill pickles in Italy either! Also called kosher dill. Made with medium cucumbers, white vinegar, water, salt,, garlic cloves, dill seeds, & peppercorns. NO sugar. Makes you pucker up, but refreshing & (would have been) great with recipe. If I could find them. 😔

    Oh, & can you believe there’s no cabbage or mushrooms in the stores either? Wrong season. I’m looking at a fairly empty plate, but I’ll dig out some salad.

    Agree that some deli meats are bad. Those tend to be the blended meats, like bologna, etc. But roast beef should be pure beef without any of the junk added. If you buy roast beef in a bag (2oz size) it may have some sugar and carbs added. But if the deli dept slices straight from a roast you are getting nothing but cow, and that ain't so bad.

    I’m not a beef eater. Anything I can substitute it with? Turkey perhaps?

    The majority of our deli meat (I could actually say all as I have yet to find one without), even sliced in front of me, contains sugar. That is the same with trying to buy bacon. Every single brand of bacon in 4 different grocery stores had added sugar. I wrote to one of the companies and asked if they would consider making bacon without sugar. They said they go with what the majority of customers want. If more people wrote in to the companies asking for sugar-free bacon or sugar-free deli meat perhaps they would reconsider.

    As far as deli meats, I usually ask for: off-the bone ham or turkey, etc.........this should avoid processed deli meats

    If you live in America, Boars Head brand deli meats at the counter have a lot of great zero carb choices and my Costco bacon has no sugar. I know you can get Boars Head at Publix, and some Safeway’s and Albertsons, but just look it up where you live. I prefer the London Broil.

    This recipe is dairy free! There is no dairy in mayonnaise, just eggs.

    Instead of buying deli meats, buy yourself a gammon and bake it yourself, or a topside of beef, roast it and slice up cold. That way you know it's just the meat and nothing else. If you have a local butcher, even better as they will tell you the provenance of the meat as well. Likewise with a turkey breast. Why not buy a whole chicken, roast that and slice it cold. Buy smarter, buy local. Sure it costs a little more, but in the long run it is better for you, better for the planet and better for the local economy.

    Excellent money-saving suggestion.

    Hint to folks who may not prefer the cabbage from this recipe. Purge it. It'll remove some of the moisture, but retain the crunchiness. I'm amazed every time I look for new slaw ideas that purging is rarely mentioned. Not sure if it's allowed here, but a GREAT lesson on purging can be found here https://www.seriouseats.com/creamy-cole-slaw . Purging can be any combination of salt and sugar, but, of course the sugar is absolutely not necessary.
