Tips & Substitutions
For a tangier slaw, consider adding a splash of apple cider vinegar in place of some of the wine vinegar. If you prefer a bit of heat, toss in some chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. This slaw can also be made ahead of time, allowing the flavors to meld together. If you're short on time, using pre-chopped vegetables can simplify the prep process.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The slaw will continue to develop flavor over time and can last for up to two weeks.
