  • Add other vegetables. Feel free to add other vegetables to your coleslaw, such as carrots, celery, and onions. This will add more flavor and texture.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
  • Chill the coleslaw before serving. This will help the flavors to develop and will also make the coleslaw more refreshing.
