About this recipe

TIPS:

Here are a couple of tips:

1) Make this first.

Make this Creamy Cole Slaw first when preparing your meal. Even though it is delicious at the get-go, it will benefit from an hour or two in the fridge.

2) About your salad ingredients:

We like to use red cabbage instead of green cabbage because it is a little softer and sweeter. Not to mention the color is amazing.
We also like to use arugula because it has a wonderful peppery flavor. But any green will be good. Of course, parsley is great, but you can sneak in some other greens like kale or spinach, too.
