Tips & Notes:
The secret to the best coleslaw:
1. Chill the vegetables before shredding or put them in the refrigerator for 10 minutes after mixing with the dressing to keep them fresh and crisp.
A quick method is to use a prepackaged bag of coleslaw.
2. It's best to mix the dressing with the vegetables when you're ready to eat them. This way, the coleslaw won't be watery. This is because cabbage contains a lot of water and the dressing contains salt, which causes the cabbage to release more water and become watery. Therefore, it's best to mix the dressing first when you're going to eat it.
3. Half a head of cabbage (medium cabbage) is enough for 5 people as a side dish to a meal.
