Step-by-step

Wash, halve and thinly slice the cabbage and fennel or use a food processor with a grating blade. I recently bought this food processor from Kenwood and love it!

Quick Russian Slaw (low-carb, paleo, keto)

Peel and grate the celeriac and place in a mixing bowl together with the shredded cabbage and fennel.

Make the Russian dressing. Finely grate the pickled cucumber and horseradish. Place the mayo, soured cream (or coconut milk), Sriracha sauce, lemon juice, finely chopped chives and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add to the bowl with the shredded cabbage and combine well.

Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Tastes best next day when the flavours have time to combine.

Hi Martina, Thanks for the recipe. I'm a big fan of cabbage and wanted to make something with it for a long time. So I'm more than happy that I found your recipe 😊
The dressing sounds delicious as well and it's a good opportunity to give the homemade mayonnaise another try (the first time it didn't really work out 😉 )

  Thank you Susanne! Hope that this time the mayo goes well. In case it helps, I always use an electric mixer and drizzle the oil in very slowly until thick. I also add the lemon juice or vinegar after the mayo is done so that it doesn't affect the thickening.

That is one delicious slaw Martina! We never tried combining horseradish and sriracha before, sounds super spicy and super yummy😊 Thank you very much for the wonderful post, excellent work! Panos and Mirella

I liked the balance and spiciness of this dressing. Only thing is, it seemed a bit runny to me.
I used coconut milk (not cream) and only 1 TBSP of lemon juice, but still too much liquid. Will try sour or coconut cream next time.

  Hi Bill, which mayo did you use? I make my own quite thick so the dressing was fine. Hope it's better with soured cream 😊
  1. Bill C26 January 2015
    My own homemade- very thick as well. Oil totals about 1 Cup and I use 1 egg yolk and 1 whole egg. If I do use coconut milk in the future, I'll just use the cream portion instead. Sour cream is definitely next. My daughter really enjoyed it as well! Didn't last for more than 3 days- dipped it in veggies and used it as salad dressing. Reubens are next!

      That's great, I'm glad it was a success 😊 Yes, try just the creamed part of coconut milk and it should be fine.
