Notes
Flavors:
Adjust the sweet and tangy balance in your dressing to suit your taste.
Fresh Veggies:
Consider shredding your cabbage and carrots for extra crunch and freshness.
Soak Cabbage:
If the cabbage is too crunchy, soak it in cold water for an hour before using.
Chill:
For a better flavor blend, refrigerate coleslaw for an hour before serving.
Prepare Ahead:
Make coleslaw a day ahead for deeper flavors, but mix in the dressing closer to serving time to retain crunch.
Experiment:
Add ingredients like red cabbage, apple, jalapeños, or nuts for variety.
Use as Topping:
Coleslaw adds excellent flavor and crunch when used as a topping on sandwiches, tacos, or hot dogs.
Keep any leftover coleslaw in an airtight container in the fridge
, and consume it within three days.
