Cooking Tips

• For a spicier coleslaw, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the dressing.
• To save time, you can use pre-shredded coleslaw mix instead of shredding the cabbage and carrots yourself.
• If you prefer a sweeter coleslaw, you can add a tablespoon of brown sugar to the dressing.
• For a more tropical flavor, you can also add some chopped mango or papaya to the slaw.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover coleslaw can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Before serving leftover coleslaw, give it a good stir to redistribute the dressing.
• This coleslaw is best served chilled, so keep it refrigerated until ready to serve.
• Garnish with some fresh cilantro or mint leaves for an extra burst of flavor.
