  • Shred the cabbage and carrots thinly so that they absorb the dressing more easily.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to shred the cabbage and carrots for even, consistent pieces.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with the shredding blade.
  • Be sure to drain the shredded cabbage and carrots well before adding them to the salad, or the salad will be watery.
  • For a creamy coleslaw, use a mayonnaise-based dressing. For a lighter coleslaw, use a vinegar-based dressing.
  • Add other vegetables to the coleslaw, such as shredded broccoli, cauliflower, or bell pepper.
  • For a protein-packed coleslaw, add shredded chicken, turkey, or tofu.
  • Serve the coleslaw immediately or chill it for later.
