Notes

  • Top Tips
  • To stop your coleslaw from going watery and limp after a couple of days, extract the water from the cabbage.
  • Cabbage is around 93% water and the slaw dressing will extract the water from the cabbage over time and make the dressing watery.Start off by shredding the cabbage and placing in a colander over a bowl. now sprinkle plenty of salt over the cabbage and toss it with your hands to thoroughly mix.
  • Allow the cabbage to stand for at least 2 hours by which time the salt will have extracted most of the water from the cabbage.
  • Thoroughly wash the cabbage under cold water to wash of the salt and pat dry with a pape towel before adding the rest of the ingredients
