Recipe Tips

• Can I make coleslaw ahead of time? Yes, it actually tastes better after chilling for a few hours.
• How to make it healthier: Use low-fat mayonnaise or swap part of it for Greek yogurt.
• Can I add other vegetables? Absolutely—try red cabbage, radish, or green onions.
• How to keep it crunchy: Only dress it just before serving if you want max crunch.
• What if I don’t have white wine vinegar? Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice are good substitutes.
