Notes
- Make it Creamy: For a creamier texture, you can gradually add mayonnaise to the dressing until you reach the desired consistency and flavour. *Taste as you go!.
- Flavour Development: The longer the coleslaw rests in the refrigerator, the more the flavours will meld and intensify, making it even tastier!
- Serving Suggestions: This coleslaw is perfect as a topping for burgers, sandwiches, or tacos. It also pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or can be served as a refreshing side at picnics.
- Storage: Store the coleslaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Avoid freezing coleslaw, as it can cause a significant change in texture and flavor once thawed.
