Notes

  • Use Pre-Shredded Mix: Save time by using pre-shredded coleslaw mix available in most grocery stores. It often includes a mix of cabbage and carrots.
  • Quick Marination: Let the coleslaw sit for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld, but it can be served immediately if you're in a rush.
  • Keep it Cold: Coleslaw tastes best when it's cold. If you have time, refrigerate it for a bit before serving.
