- Add some crunch. Add some chopped nuts, seeds, or crumbled bacon for a crunchy texture.
- Make a flavorful dressing. The dressing is what really brings the slaw together. Use a combination of rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, and honey for a sweet and tangy dressing.
- Let the slaw chill. This will allow the flavors to meld and the slaw to become more crisp.
