Tips:
- Use a mandoline: A mandoline is the best tool for getting thin, even slices of beets and carrots. If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife, but be careful to slice the vegetables as thinly as possible.
- Choose fresh, crisp vegetables: Fresh, crisp vegetables will give you the best flavor and texture in your slaw.
- Don't overdress the slaw: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will weigh down the slaw and make it soggy.
- Chill the slaw before serving: Chilling the slaw for at least 30 minutes before serving will help the flavors to meld and will make the slaw more refreshing.
