For a sweeter coleslaw, increase the amount of sugar in the vinaigrette. If you prefer a tangier coleslaw, reduce the amount of sugar and increase the amount of cider vinegar. Feel free to add other vegetables to the coleslaw, such as bell peppers, jicama, or green onions. For best results, make the coleslaw a day ahead of time to allow the flavors to fully develop. This coleslaw can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
