Tips & Substitutions

If you want to make a healthier version, consider swapping in a vegan recipe for coleslaw using a vinegar-based dressing. Adding some chopped fruits like apples or raisins can enhance the flavor profile. Fresh herbs can also be a great substitute for parsley if you have them on hand.
