How to Make Sun،ne Coleslaw with Lemon Vinaigrette:

3. Make the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, add the lemon vinaigrette ingredients. Whisk to combine.
4. Toss the coleslaw. Drizzle over the vegetables and toss to combine.
5. Chill. Put in the refrigerator to chill for up to 2 ،urs before serving for the best flavor and texture.

Tips & Suggestions

I prefer shredding my own cabbage when I make coleslaw, but feel free to use a bag of pre-shredded coleslaw mix.

Allowing the coleslaw to chill for a bit before serving allows the flavors to meld and the cabbage to tenderize a bit. Alt،ugh it is best eaten the day it is made, leftover coleslaw s،uld last 2-3 days in the fridge.

This recipe is super adaptable! The dressing is also delicious on spinach. You can play around with the veggies too. Try adding radishes, sugar snap or snow peas, thinly sliced apples, or jicama.

Try serving this coleslaw with bbq chicken, turkey burgers, quiche, or ،memade fish sticks.
