Kori's Tips

  • Don't miss all of our helpful hints, substitution ideas, cooking tips, and other delicious recipes that can be found in our post. Check it out!
  • VARIATIONS: Optional add-ins are pepitas, diced celery, or frozen thawed sweet corn; increase the sweetness of the dressing by adding sugar or sugar substitute; make it spicy by adding cayenne pepper, using the sees of the jalapeno, or use a hotter pepper than jalapeno; to make it milder omit the jalapeno or use a small anaheim or poblano pepper.
  • TIPS: If you like your coleslaw crunchy, add dressing to taste and serve immediately. If you like it softer and creamier, add dressing and refrigerate for an hour or so until the cabbage softens.
  • SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Adjust salt, pepper, and lime juice taste.
