Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage. Green cabbage is the most common type used for coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both. If you're using green cabbage, choose heads that are firm and heavy for their size. Red cabbage heads should be deep purple in color.
- Shred the cabbage thinly. This will help the cabbage absorb the dressing and make the slaw more tender. You can use a food processor fitted with a shredding disk to make quick work of this task.
- Use a variety of raisins. Golden raisins, dark raisins, and sultanas all work well in coleslaw. You can also use a combination of different types of raisins.
- Make the dressing ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop. You can make the dressing up to 24 hours in advance.
- Chill the slaw before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and make the slaw more refreshing. You can chill the slaw for up to 2 hours before serving.
