Notes
Flavor Development: For best flavor, enjoy the coleslaw after it’s sat in the fridge overnight, allowing the veggies to soak up all the flavors. However, you can eat it immediately if desired.
Creamy Style Variation: If you prefer a creamy coleslaw dressing similar to classic coleslaw, swap out the olive oil for half a cup of mayo.
Herb Substitution: If you don’t like cilantro, you can swap it out for parsley.
Fresh Herbs Recommendation: Stick with fresh herbs rather than dried, as the flavor doesn’t turn out the same.
Lemon Juice: Add a dash of lemon juice for a twist on this basic red cabbage slaw recipe.
