Note
This slaw is best served fresh. If preparing ahead, store the vegetables and dressing separately and toss just before serving to prevent sogginess.
For added flavor, consider tossing with a simple vinaigrette of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
You can add other crunchy vegetables like bell peppers or radishes for extra color and crunch.
Ensure all vegetables are completely dry after washing to avoid diluting the dressing.
