  • Use a variety of vegetables in your coleslaw. Some good options include carrots, celery, red onion, and bell pepper. You can also add fruits like apples or pineapple.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Taste the dressing before you add it to the coleslaw. You may need to adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  • Serve the coleslaw chilled. This will help to keep it crisp and refreshing.
