Notes
I love red cabbage in my coleslaw recipes as it adds a zing of color, plus it is crunchy. Pointed cabbage is also a great choice. Or simply a mix of 2 — any type. Summer savoy cabbage could also be used. Be sure to include one crunchy cabbage as this makes the best tasting salad and holds up best as leftovers.
