Customizing Your Slaw

One of the best things about this slaw is that you can easily customize it to suit your taste buds and dietary preferences. Here are some ideas for how to make it your own:

• If you like your slaw more or less spicy, you can adjust the amount of mustard and cayenne pepper in the dressing. You can also use a different type of mustard, such as Dijon or honey mustard.
• If you want to add some more flavor and texture, you can toss in some chopped nuts, dried fruits, or fresh herbs, or cheese. Some good options are almonds, cranberries, or mint.
• If you want to make your slaw vegan or dairy-free, you can substitute the mayonnaise with plant-based mayo, yogurt, or sour cream. You can also use maple syrup or agave nectar instead of honey.
• If you don’t have apple cider vinegar on hand, you can substitute rice wine or white wine vinegar.
