Notes

  • Be sure to do a taste test and adjust for seasoning accordingly.
  • To make things even easier and super quick, you can buy pre-shredded cabbage and carrots.
  • Feel free to mix things up with some red or green cabbage.
  • You can add a tablespoon of agave nectar/maple syrup for a sweeter slaw.
  • Add the mayonnaise in stages, you may not need/want all of the dressing. Creaminess is a matter of your own discretion
  • Store any leftover dressing in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
  • You can easily prep the vegetables in advance by grating them and storing in a ziplock bag (for up to 2 days in advance).
  • Keep in mind the longer you leave the coleslaw to sit for, the softer and less crunchy it will be.
