Note

For best texture, serve the slaw immediately after tossing to maintain the crispness of the cabbage and vegetables.

If making ahead, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The cabbage may release some water over time, so stir well before serving.

Adjust the amount of hot sauce to suit your preference for spiciness. You can also substitute the green pepper with red bell pepper for a slightly sweeter flavor.

For a dairy-free version, substitute the sour cream with a plant-based yogurt or mayo alternative.
