You guys know that I am a little obsessed with Reubens.
First, there was my Reuben Sandwich, and then my Keto Reuben Casserole.
Today I am following up with a Keto Reuben Slaw.
It is the perfect solution for those times you need a quick no-cook meal. This recipe is perfect for meal prepping!
Ingredients for Making This Keto Reuben Slaw Recipe
- Cabbage: Use green cabbage for this recipe. You will need approximately one-half of a head of cabbage.
- Corned Beef: You can typically find corned beef in the deli year-round. If you cannot find it, you can use roast beef or even turkey.
- Cheese: I used pre-sliced cheese cut into strips. If you prefer, you can use grated cheese.
- Sauerkraut: I use Bubbie s.
- Mayonnaise: Use homemade or any brand that does not contain sugar.
- Ketchup: My go-to brand for buying ketchup is Primal Kitchen. If you have the time, make my Keto Ketchup.
- Dill Pickles: Make sure you read the label as some pickles contain carbs. I use Bubbie’s, which you can find in the refrigerator section.
- Caraway Seeds: See below for instructions on how to toast them.
Tips & Tricks
- If you are low carb, or are keto and don’t mind adding some carrots to your diet, coleslaw mix makes this recipe a snap.
- If you want to make this a side dish rather than a main, you could always leave the meat off.
- If you prefer, you can substitute apple cider vinegar for the pickle juice.

Cook for a couple of minutes, until fragrant.
I like to crush the seeds, but this step is optional.
Russian and thousand island dressing is typically not keto-friendly because they contain a touch of sugar or use traditional ketchup with sugar.

Storage
I prefer this keto reuben in a bowl the day that it is made, but it will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to two days.
For longer storage, keep the dressing separate from the cabbage mixture and toss 30 minutes before serving.
