Tips for Making the Best Cole Slaw

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and other vegetables. This will help the slaw to be crisp and flavorful.
  • Don't overdress the slaw. You want the dressing to coat the vegetables, but not weigh them down.
  • Let the slaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the slaw with a variety of toppings, such as crumbled bacon, chopped nuts, or grated cheese.
