Notes

  • If you have more time at hand, I suggest letting your coleslaw rest in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. This resting period allows the flavors to meld together more thoroughly, creating a more well-rounded taste.
  • One trick I love for a lighter version of the dressing is to mix mayonnaise with plain yogurt. It still gives you the creaminess but with a bit of tang, which pairs so well with the crunchy vegetables.
  • To achieve the perfect coleslaw texture, I recommend pre-salting the cabbage. Simply sprinkle some salt over the shredded cabbage and let it sit for 30 minutes. This process helps draw out excess moisture, resulting in a crunchier and less watery coleslaw. Once the cabbage has released its moisture, make sure to rinse off the excess salt and pat it with paper towels.
