  • Let sit at least 5 minutes for the flavors to combine. Toss again and serve.

Notes

  • This recipe makes about 6 cups of cabbage slaw.
  • If you have time, allow the slaw to sit in the fridge for 20-30 minutes for the flavors to combine and the cabbage to soften a bit.
  • For vegan, be sure to use vegan mayo and skip the honey and swap with sugar. For egg-free, be sure to use vegan mayo or Greek yogurt.
