Notes
Savoy cabbage can be used instead of white cabbage
Other vegetables can be added to the coleslaw for greater variety, including: Sliced bell peppers (red, yellow, and orange) Grated carrots Chopped nuts (e.g. almonds, walnuts)
Some people prefer to sweeten the dressing by adding up to 2 tablespoons of sugar to the mayonnaise and vinegar
Spices can be added to the dressing to "liven it up" (e.g. ground black pepper, celery seeds)
