NOTES:
- If you want to shred your own Coleslaw mix, you will need to thinly slice/shred about 6 cups green cabbage and 2 large carrots.
- Add extra flavors and texture by stirring in sliced green onions, diced apples, dried cranberries, chopped almonds, and/or pumpkin seeds.
- Make Coleslaw one day ahead and keep in the fridge until ready to use, OR make the dressing 1 to 2 days ahead and then just stir it in an hour before serving the Coleslaw.
