For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the marinade. If you prefer a less sweet slaw, reduce the amount of sugar to 1/4 cup. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables, such as shredded carrots or red bell peppers, to customize the slaw to your liking. This slaw can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
