Recipe Notes
Advanced Preparation:
- This dish can be prepared up to a day in advance and refrigerated.
Tips, Notes, and Variations:
- Savoy cabbage can be used instead of white cabbage
- Other vegetables can be added to the coleslaw for greater variety, including:
- sliced bell peppers – red, yellow and orange
- chopped nuts – i.e. almonds, walnuts, poppy seeds, etc.
- corn kernels
- Some like their coleslaw with more dressing. To accommodate, I often make double the dressing and serve it on the side.
