Notes
- You can prepare the dressing up to 2 hours ahead; combine with vegetables right before serving for best texture.
- Store dressing and vegetables separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- Salting cabbages and carrots before dressing adds seasoning but can increase moisture and saltiness.
- Feel free to add extras like bell peppers, jalapeños, or celery for varied flavors.
- If liquid forms at the bottom after sitting, drain and toss with additional dressing before serving.
