  • Shred the cabbage finely: This will help the flavors of the dressing to penetrate the cabbage.
  • Don't overdress the coleslaw: You want the cabbage to be coated in dressing, but not swimming in it.
  • Chill the coleslaw before serving: This will help the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the coleslaw within a few hours of making it: Colesaclaw is best when fresh.

Conclusion:

Cranberry poppy seed coleslaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give this recipe a try.
