Notes
Customize this slaw based on the flavors you love:
If you love spice: Add 1/2-1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes or drizzle with sriracha.
If you love herbs: Add chopped scallions, more cilantro, chopped mint.
If you love sweet slaw: Add 1-2 tbsp. honey or maple syrup to the dressing.
Add more crunch: Sprinkle with peanuts, cashews, sesame seeds for more crunch.
To make the slaw in advance for parties/big events:
Make the slaw ahead of time and store covered in the fridge. Right before serving sprinkle some freshly chopped cilantro and any nuts or seeds you plan to add (optional)
Alternatively if you need to prepare the slaw further ahead, you can mix the dressing up ahead of time (up to 5 days ahead) and shred the cabbage ahead. In a large bowl add the broccoli slaw and shredded cabbage and cover. The day of serving, chop the cilantro, add the dressing and stir well to fully coat the slaw.
Storage:Store leftovers in the fridge 4-5 days in an air tight container.
