Ingredient Notes, Substitutions & Additions

Cabbage/Carrots: Shredding the veggies yourself makes for a suer crisp, fresh coleslaw. However, I’ve made this with pre-made shredded veggies and it turns out just fine, too.

Additions: More veggies are never a bad idea! Shredded jimica, sliced red bell pepper, radishes and red onions are great additions. For more crunch, add sunflower seeds, or toasted almonds or pecans.
