Even better, by carefully choosing the brands you use to make the coleslaw dressing, this salad can be made paleo-friendly and gluten-free. If you leave out the apple and use an avocado oil mayo and  Swerve Brown Sugar Replacement in the dressing, this coleslaw is keto-friendly.

I like to use Annie's Balsamic VinaigretteAnnie's Balsamic Vinaigrette in the coleslaw dressing, but you can use whatever balsamic dressing you prefer.
