Notes
-
- Sometimes, I serve spicy coleslaw as a side dish, but other times, I eat it right from the bowl as an entree salad. Add a little tempeh grilled or teriyaki tofu, and it's a meal!
-
- Whenever I make a coleslaw recipe, I dress for at least an hour before serving to enhance the refrigerator's flavors.
-
- Similarly, leftover spicy coleslaw only gets better the longer it sits in the refrigerator, so don't worry about dressing it.
-
- For easier digestion, chop the cabbage and vegetables finely.
-
- Try to use fresh herbs whenever possible.
- Add cashew mayo option for a creamy dressing.
