Notes
- Chef Notes:
- Make-Ahead: You can make this recipe up to 2 hours ahead of time, but it is best to dress and mix right before serving.
- How to Store: It is best if you can keep the dressing separate from the vegetables and cover both and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Salting the cabbages and carrots will make the coleslaw a bit saltier.
- Feel free to add more ingredients such as bell peppers, jalapeños, celery, etc.
- It is vital that you season and dress the coleslaw only right before serving.
- If the coleslaw sits for too long liquid will form at the bottom of the bowl. The best way to counter that is by draining and re-tossing in 2-3 tablespoons more dressing.
