Low FODMAP Asian-Style Coleslaw – Paleo-Friendly, Plant-Based, Whole30-Friendly

Jump to Recipe ⤸

I took a poll in my Instagram stories last week, and some of you said you were interested in more salad recipes! This isn’t QUITE a salad recipe, but it’s light, raw, refreshing, full of vegetables and has a dressing. So it comes close, right? (; This no-cook Low FODMAP Asian-Style Coleslaw is crunchy and refreshing, and stays crisp all week, so it’s great for meal prep! With a light, sugar-free dressing, this healthy side goes perfect with your protein and carb of choice. I’ll be eating this all week because once you buy one cabbage (or in my case, two), it seriously lasts forever! Now let’s get into it, shall we?

What You’ll Need

Cutting Board & Knife
Measuring Cups & Spoons
Large Bowl
Salad Servers – for mixing.

About the Ingredients & FODMAP Content

Common Cabbage & Red Cabbage – Both common & red cabbage are Low FODMAP in 3/4 cup servings. Common cabbage is moderate FODMAP at 1 cup (for Sorbitol) and red cabbage is moderate FODMAP at 1-1/2 cup (for Fructans). Since they are moderate FODMAP for different FODMAP groups, this serving size should be safe!

Jalapeno – Adds an extra crunch and additional flavor. If you want some heat, leave in some seeds! The FODMAP content is negligible due to the small amount per serving.

Mint & Cilantro – Herbs to provide a refreshing bite & flavor. If you or your loved ones hate cilantro, feel free to omit. The FODMAP content is negligible.

Gluten Free Tamari – The main portion of the dressing, and is Low FODMAP in 2 tablespoon servings.

Fresh Lime Juice & Rice Wine Vinegar – Adds the perfect amount of acidity. FODMAP content is negligible.

Sesame Oil – Adds an aromatic nuttiness to the dressing.
