Steps

  1. 1

    In a serving bowl, mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Serve immediately or refrigerate covered until ready to use.

  2. 2

    Although I typically prefer to prepare ingredients from scratch, pre-shredded coleslaw cabbage has caught my attention for its convenience. While I enjoy various coleslaw variations as quick side dishes, the task of shredding a large amount of cabbage can be messy and time-consuming. Shredded cabbage also proves useful in stir-fries and recipes like Colcannon.

  3. 3

    Select a bag of coleslaw cabbage by visually inspecting its quality. Opt for fresh-looking cabbage without any excess liquid in the package. The cabbage should appear crisp and not dehydrated. A mix of green cabbage, some red cabbage, and grated carrot is ideal when choosing pre-shredded coleslaw.
