The Secret Slaw

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe.

Servings: Serves 4 – 6.

If you go to find inspiration for a coleslaw recipe like I did, you’ll see several pop ups that claim to be the secret recipe from Chick-Fil-A. Turns out the restaurant chain took coleslaw off the menu and everyone went into a panic.

As I did my research, the funny thing I noticed is that all those slaw recipes claiming to be Chick-Fil-A’s secret recipe are all different! So I used one of those and changed it up to make it mine; I Zolafied it. First thing I did was take out the sugar. The result is a sweet coleslaw that tastes just like my favorite from childhood. Hope you like it.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup of mayonnaise. I use mayo made with avocado oil. It’s healthier. Read a few labels and I bet you’ll find one.
• 3 tsp of vinegar. I used champagne vinegar but any white one will work. You just want a little tang.
• 2 Tbl of Swerve or ZSweet. You can order these fabulous sugar substitutes online.
• 1/4 tsp of dry mustard (or to taste)
• 1/4 tsp of grated sea salt
• 1 bag of coleslaw (shredded cabbage). I found a new one that was called angel cut. That means it has thinner shreds. Any will work, though.
• 1/2 cup of shredded carrot (some bags of shredded cabbage already come with carrot in them. If that’s the case, you don’t need to buy more.

Instructions:

In a medium bowl add the mayo, vinegar, sweetener, mustard and sea salt. Mix until it’s all incorporated and smooth. Add the shreds and stir it all up with a spatula.

It’s almost ready. Coleslaw does benefit from some time in the refrigerator for the flavors to meld. Try to let it rest in the fridge for 2 hours or more. Store in an airtight container. It won’t last long though. This stuff is great!

Enjoy!

Cheers,
