Notes

  • Allow the coleslaw to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving so flavors meld and coleslaw becomes more flavorful.
  • You will need to add more liquid or dressing if you're adding lots of other ingredients. Double up dressing and add a little more at a time until coated.
  • Shred or slice the vegetables as thinly as possible for best texture and will absorb the dressing better.
