Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Use a combination of green and red cabbage for a colorful and flavorful coleslaw.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the coleslaw absorb the dressing better.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Add some shredded carrots, celery, and onion to the coleslaw for extra crunch and flavor.
  • Make your own dressing: A homemade dressing will always taste better than a store-bought one. Use a combination of mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and mustard.
  • Let the coleslaw chill: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the cabbage to soften slightly.
  • Serve the coleslaw cold: Coleslaw is best served cold, so make sure to chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
