- Shred the cabbage thinly. This will help the cabbage absorb the dressing and make the coleslaw more flavorful.
- Use a variety of vegetables. In addition to cabbage, you can add other vegetables to your coleslaw, such as carrots, celery, onion, and bell pepper.
- Make the dressing ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Chill the coleslaw before serving. This will help the flavors to set and make the coleslaw more refreshing.
