Note
For best results, serve this coleslaw immediately after preparation to maintain maximum crunch.
If you prefer a dressed version, consider adding a simple vinaigrette of apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt, though this recipe is designed to be enjoyed raw and fresh.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though the vegetables may soften over time.
Adjust the amount of onion based on your preference for sharpness; red onion can be used for a milder, sweeter flavor.
