Notes
- If you are traveling or wanting to make this ahead of time, don't add the dressing to the veggies. Prep the veggies and put them in a bowl and make the dressing and put it in a separate container. Mix them together just before serving.
- If you like a little sweet with your coleslaw feel free to add 1 grated apple to this recipe, I do that often and we love it.
- You can use a 14 ounce bag of coleslaw mix in place of chopping your own veggies for this recipe if you'd like.
- I know many folks don't like mayonnaise (I don't get it, but hey...) sour cream or plain Greek yogurt would be good substitutions for it in this recipe.
