💡 Chef tips
- For a lighter version, replace half the mayonnaise with plain pareve yogurt or extra-virgin olive oil.
- Letting the slaw sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour significantly improves the texture and flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; drain any excess liquid before serving again.
✅ How it should turn out
The finished slaw should be vibrant and crunchy with a bright, tangy dressing that perfectly complements the sweetness of the fresh cabbage.
