- 1/3 cup low carb mayonnaise

- 2 T sour cream

- 2 t lemon juice

- 2 t apple cider vinegar

- 1/2 t garlic powder

- 1/4 t kosher salt

- Black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1.  In a large mixing bowl combine the shredded cabbage and scallions  Set aside.

2.  In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and whisk together until smooth.

3.  Pour half of the dressing into the bowl containing the cabbage and scallions and mix well.  Continue to add the dressing until the cole slaw reaches your desired level of dressing.

4.  Season the cole slaw with additional salt an pepper to taste.

5.  Serve and enjoy.

Cook's Notes:

I used an 18 oz bag of shredded cabbage and other greens because that was what was easily available at my local grocery store.  I am really do not like cole slaw, but I found this recipe for my bride so she could enjoy a carb friendly dish.  She was not disappointed.  This recipe allows you to add seasonings to your taste, and it is very easy to make.
