Tips & Substitutions
For best results, let the slaw sit for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. You can substitute apple cider vinegar for the vinegar for a slightly sweeter taste, or use agave syrup instead of sugar for a healthier, vegan alternative. For added crunch, consider mixing in some shredded carrots or radishes.
Serving Suggestions
Her Slaw makes a fantastic side dish for summer barbecues, pairing well with grilled meats or served alongside Summer Macaroni Salad. Consider adding it to sandwiches or tacos for a refreshing crunch. It can also be a vibrant topping for burgers or served as part of a picnic spread.
