For a tangier coleslaw, increase the lemon juice or vinegar to your liking. If you prefer a sweeter coleslaw, add a bit more sugar. To prevent the coleslaw from becoming too watery, drain any excess liquid that accumulates during refrigeration before serving. For a variation, add other vegetables such as shredded red cabbage, bell peppers, or celery. The coleslaw is best when served cold.

Apr 17, 2025I usually don't like coleslaw, but this recipe changed my mind! The dressing is so flavorful, and the cabbage stays nice and crisp. I will definitely be making this again.
