Cup of Yum
Notes
- Allow the coleslaw to rest for at least 30 minutes to soften cabbage and let flavors meld before serving.
- Refrigerate for up to 1-2 hours for a more tender texture, but avoid sitting longer than 24 hours to prevent sogginess.
- Expect the cabbage to wilt slightly and reduce in volume after dressing incorporation and chilling.
- The recipe yields approximately 3 cups of coleslaw or six half-cup servings after resting.
