For the best texture, it's crucial to dress the slaw just before serving. This prevents the vegetables from becoming soggy. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste. If you don't have dark brown sugar, you can substitute light brown sugar or even granulated sugar, though the flavor profile will be slightly different. Consider adding other colorful vegetables like shredded carrots or purple cabbage for even more visual appeal.
