FAQs
1. Is Red Lobster coleslaw made fresh daily?
Answer: Red Lobster strives for fresh preparation, but coleslaw is typically made in batches due to its popularity as a high-volume side dish. It is served chilled and replenished throughout the day to maintain freshness, crunch, and quality.
2. Can I order the coleslaw without dressing?
Answer: No. The coleslaw is pre-mixed with dressing during batch preparation, so it cannot be served without dressing. If you’re looking for an undressed vegetable option, consider sides such as Roasted Asparagus or Seasoned Broccoli.
3. Is coleslaw a low-carb side option?
Answer: Compared to sides like French fries (about 51 g of carbs) or Orzo Rice (about 31 g of carbs), coleslaw is relatively low in carbohydrates, with approximately 10 g per serving. This makes it one of the more low-carb side choices available.
4. Is Red Lobster’s coleslaw sweet or vinegary?
Answer: Red Lobster’s coleslaw has a sweet, creamy flavor profile. While vinegar is included for balance and preservation, the sweetness from added sugar is more noticeable than the vinegar’s tang.
5. Does Red Lobster offer a family-size coleslaw option?
Answer: Yes. Red Lobster commonly offers Family Size portions of its sides, including coleslaw, for takeout or catering. These servings are intended to feed four or more people and are priced higher than a single side order.
