Notes
Tips for Success
- Shred the cabbage fairly thinly with a sharp knife so it’s easy to eat and gets evenly coated with dressing.
- Give it time to chill. Thirty minutes in the refrigerator helps the flavors blend together.
- Adjust the sweetness if you like. You can use a little less sugar for a more tangy coleslaw.
- Toss before serving. The cabbage naturally releases some moisture as it sits, so give everything another good toss before putting it on the table.
- Make it ahead. This is an easy side dish to prepare a few hours before a cookout or gathering.
