Can I make this coleslaw ahead of time?
Absolutely! This coleslaw is actually better the next day as the flavours have time to develop. It’ll keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
What can I serve this coleslaw with?
This peppery coleslaw is perfect with BBQ chicken, fish and chips, pulled pork, or any grilled meats. It’s also delicious as a side with hearty soups or sandwiches.
Can I use a different type of vinegar?
Yes! Apple cider vinegar works well and adds a slightly sweeter note. You could also try rice vinegar for a milder flavour.
Is there a substitute for cilantro?
If you’re not a cilantro fan, just use extra parsley or try fresh dill. You could also leave it out entirely – the coleslaw will still be delicious!
How do I keep the coleslaw from getting watery?
Make sure to pat the cucumber dry after chopping, and if the slaw seems watery after chilling, simply drain off any excess liquid before serving.
