Notes
Variations
Use different cabbage varieties. Try napa cabbage or green cabbage. Store bought slaw mix can be used too.
Add some shredded carrot. For more color and sweetness shredded carrots are a great addition. Shred them yourself at home. Store bought shredded carrots have a distinct flavor (probably from a preserving agent) that will be noticeable in the slaw.
Change the juice. Instead of lime juice add lemon juice or orange juice to change the flavor. Freshly squeezed always tastes best. We use a handheld juicer.
Try white wine vinegar. It has a different flavor than apple cider vinegar and would be a great swap option.
Add more crunch. Adding sunflower seeds or pepitas (pumpkin seed hulls) adds more texture, flavor and crunch.
How to Store
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
Celery seeds. This is a traditional ingredient in coleslaw and can be added to this slaw recipe too if desired.
Like some spice? Add some cayenne pepper, sliced jalapenos and fresh cilantro for a Mexican cabbage slaw.
