Artichoke & Red Pepper Coleslaw - collage of 2 photos of salad
bowl of coleslaw

I don't ever recall getting excited about coleslaw. Don't get me wrong - I love the stuff, but it can also be boring. It's one of those dishes that is just always there, on the side of your plate, non-threatening and reliable. But sometimes you just don't want boring old coleslaw. I wanted a unique healthy coleslaw, so that's why I came up this Healthy Artichoke and Red Pepper Coleslaw; something different from the usual...

My Mom makes a pretty darn good one and her magic ingredient is caraway seed. I've incorporated that yumminess into this recipe, as well as the addition of roasted red peppers and artichoke hearts. It's only 2 WW points on the blue plan per serving, gluten-free and it changes things up nicely! Okay, now you can get excited about coleslaw!

  • 📋 Healthy Artichoke and Red Pepper Coleslaw Recipe
  • 🥗More Healthy Salads!

🥘 Ingredients

Although coleslaw is typically healthy, the creamier recipes can be high in calories and fat. That's why apple cider vinegar coleslaw is a great choice for making a healthy coleslaw dressing! This recipe also contains a little low-fat mayonnaise so you don't miss the creaminess.

For this healthy coleslaw recipe, you'll need:

  • mayonnaise *I use Hellman's ½ the fat/light
  • broccoli slaw (or rainbow salad)
  • apple cider vinegar
  • caraway seeds
  • white granulated sugar
  • roasted red pepper from a jar (* I use Mezzetta brand)
  • marinated artichoke hearts from a jar

*see recipe card for quantities

💭 Top tip

You can sprinkle a TINY bit of caraway seed on for a garnish, but more is less when it comes to caraway seed. The flavor can overwhelm, so be careful not to use too much!

Healthy Artichoke & Roasted Red Pepper Coleslaw | Weight Watchers Friendly

Coleslaw is all fine and well on the side of your plate, but in the last couple of years I have discovered even yummier uses for it, like on my Slow Cooker Pulled Pork on a Bun and in my No Fishy Taste Fish Tacos! Although they both have their own recipes in the posts, this healthy coleslaw recipe also works marvelously with them and changes things up, just to add a bit more excitement. However, this Weight Watchers Coleslaw stands alone just as nicely.

💭Where does coleslaw come from?

Although it's evolved over time, nowadays, the word slaw is no longer limited to just coleslaw and pretty much includes any type of dressed salad with shredded vegetables. However,  the term originally came from the Dutch term koolsla, meaning cabbage salad. Kool is the Dutch word for cabbage and the sla part is a Dutch abbreviation of the word salade.  If you are interested,  you can read more about history of coleslaw HERE.

👪 Serving Size

This healthy broccoli slaw recipe serves 6. However, you can cut it in half (if you have a smaller group) or double or triple it for a larger group.  Simply click on the blue serving size in the recipe card, select the number of servings and the recipe amounts will adjust accordingly. 

🌡️Storing

You can store this healthy coleslaw recipe for up to 3 days (in a sealed container) in the fridge. 

So, if you want to get excited about coleslaw, then make this tangy Artichoke and Red Pepper Coleslaw! Healthy coleslaw is also a great side dish for a picnic. And again, if you're looking for something that's not boring or the same old same old, then give my Fried Caesar Chicken a try- it's the perfect pairing!

    Coleslaw is often provided at restaurants as a side dish for Fried chicken. But we feel bored by it tasting same always. You have made it very tasty with your recipe. It's the first time I have seen someone experimenting with coleslaw recipe. I hope this recipe would give an interesting taste to coleslaw. All the wishes for your new recipes!
