Before serving, give the slaw a good toss to redistribute the dressing. Enjoy chilled!
For an even finer slaw, consider using a mandoline to shred the cabbage.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference. A pinch of black pepper also adds a nice touch.
If you don't have Granny Smith apples, other crisp, tart apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Fuji work well.
For a creamier slaw, add 1/4 cup of mayonnaise to the dressing. Reduce the amount of oil to 1 tablespoon
This slaw is best enjoyed within 24 hours of making it.
