- Make it Ahead: Prepare the coleslaw dressing and chop the vegetables ahead of time, but wait to toss them together until just before serving to maintain maximum crispness.
- Customize the Texture: Adjust the coleslaw’s texture by shredding or chopping the cabbage and carrots according to your preference. Some may prefer a finer shred, while others enjoy a coarser texture.
- Add Extra Crunch: For an extra crunch, toss in some chopped nuts or seeds like almonds, pecans, or sunflower seeds.
- Spice it Up: If you prefer a spicier coleslaw, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the dressing mixture.
- Make it Vegan: Substitute the fat-free mayonnaise with a vegan mayo alternative, and ensure the sugar used is certified vegan.
