Tips & Substitutions

Adjust the sugar according to your taste, and for added crunch, incorporate some shredded carrots or thinly sliced bell peppers.

Serve this cole slaw as a side dish with grilled meats or as a topping for sandwiches and burgers. It adds a refreshing crunch to any meal. For an interesting twist, try pairing it with BBQ dishes or alongside a slice of Grandma Bea's Strawberry Pie for a delightful contrast. It also works well with other summer salads for a light, casual gathering.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cole slaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Just give it a good stir before serving again.
