Do you have any special tips for making this salad? Share them.
In making the coleslaw, I had to observe some special tips such as:
I ensured that all the ingredients were fresh as in the Vegetables as this would help to make the flavour of the salad great.
I ensured the ingredients are cut uniformly and thin as this helped to enhance the appearance of the salad.
I used the dressing mixture as suited to me. It can also be used based on one’s preferences. I loved the lemon juice feel on the mayonnaise and the salt and sugar taste together.
I refrigerated it before serving and this enhanced the flavour and taste.
Thank you for coming down this lane with me. It was great making this coleslaw and I know you loved it.
