How to Make Coleslaw

Do you ever find yourself critiquing the coleslaw at a restaurant or fish fry?

Maybe it’s just me. I’m always judging whether the coleslaw is too dry, too saturated, or if it needs more sugar.

I guess I’m picky. That’s why this editor prefers coleslaw from my kitchen any day.

Good thing it’s so easy to make coleslaw at home. Especially if you buy shredded cabbage and carrots!

All you need to do is add a mayonnaise dressing or vinaigrette, and you’ve got a delicious, refreshing side dish for dinner or your summer BBQ.
