Five Tips for your Best Coleslaw ever!

  • Salt the cabbage – by salting the cabbage during preparation you can add flavor, and help extract some of the water out of the cabbage.
  • Use purple cabbage sparingly – purple cabbage can bleed, and discolor your coleslaw.
  • Make ahead of time – Be sure to make ahead of time so the flavors mingle before serving.
  • Season twice – as the flavors marry be sure to check the seasoning and adjust for serving.
  • Be creative – you can add carrots, onions, bell peppers, hot peppers, experiment with the mixins!
