- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (avocado oil based)
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp granulated erythritol sweetener

- 3
Fold in the shredded cheddar and toasted sliced almonds, reserving a small handful of almonds for garnish.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to let the slaw soften slightly and the flavors meld.

Tips & notes
- For the best crunch, stir in the toasted almonds just before serving rather than letting them sit overnight in the dressing.
- Swap the cheddar for crumbled blue cheese or grated parmesan for a different flavor profile that keeps the carb count identical.
- This slaw keeps in an airtight container for up to 3 days; the texture is best within 48 hours.
