Notes
For extra crunch, add some finely chopped green bell peppers or celery. If you prefer a sweeter coleslaw, add a bit more sugar to the dressing. Use fresh, crisp vegetables for the best flavor and texture. Let the coleslaw sit in the fridge for a few hours for the flavors to meld together. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
