Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Be aware that the cabbage may soften over time, but the flavors will continue to meld.
  • Freezing: It’s not recommended to freeze this slaw as the texture may change once thawed. However, you can freeze the dressing separately for future use.
  • Pairing: This slaw is perfect as a side dish for tacos, grilled chicken, or even as a topping on sandwiches or burgers.
  • Variations: Feel free to add in diced avocado for creaminess or some chopped nuts for an added crunch!
  • Serving size: Adjust the ingredient quantities depending on the number of servings you need.
