A delicious and creamy keto-friendly BBQ side dish featuring cauliflower mac coleslaw and devilled eggs, perfect for low-carb gatherings and summer cookouts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into small florets (about 4 cups)
  • 1 cup shredded green cabbage
  • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (full-fat preferred)
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (full-fat preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Smoked paprika for garnish
  • Fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10-12 minutes. Drain and cool under cold running water or ice bath to stop cooking.
  2. While the eggs cook, bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Add cauliflower florets and blanch for 3-4 minutes until just tender but still with a slight bite. Drain well in a colander and let cool completely to avoid soggy coleslaw.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine ½ cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if using. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Add shredded cabbage, cooled cauliflower, and shredded cheddar into the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently until everything is well coated. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the eggs.
  5. Peel the cooled eggs and slice in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and place in a small bowl. Mash yolks thoroughly with a fork or potato masher.
  6. Add 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  7. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites. Sprinkle smoked paprika and chopped chives or parsley on top for garnish.
  8. Arrange the cauliflower mac coleslaw and devilled eggs on a platter. Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours before serving.

Notes

For extra creamy coleslaw, add more mayo or sour cream. Chill coleslaw for a few hours to let flavors meld. Avoid overcooking cauliflower to maintain a macaroni-like bite. Use a plastic sandwich bag as a piping bag substitute if needed. For dairy-free, substitute cheddar with nutritional yeast and use dairy-free mayo and sour cream.
