Notes

 

  • The coleslaw can be made a day ahead for even better flavor.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
  • If you prefer extra crunch, add chopped nuts like almonds or sunflower seeds just before serving.
  • For an extra tangy kick, add a teaspoon of lemon juice.
