Tips:

Choose fresh, vibrant cabbage for the best flavor and texture.
Use a combination of green, red, and purple cabbage for a colorful confetti effect.
Shred the cabbage thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer.
Massage the cabbage with salt to help release its natural juices and soften it slightly.
Add your favorite mix-ins and seasonings to taste, such as carrots, celery, onion, herbs, and spices.
For a creamy coleslaw, use mayonnaise or Greek yogurt as the base of the dressing.
