Notes
- Make sure you leave time for the slaw to chill. This also allows the flavors in the sauce to incorporate and become even more flavorful.
- If you plan on saving some of the slaw for leftovers, we recommend refrigerating the sauce separate from the slaw. This will help the slaw to retain its crunchiness.
