TIPS

Here are some tips for Tangy Citrus Slaw:

  • Use fresh citrus juice: Provides the best flavour and natural acidity.
  • Massage the cabbage: Softens the texture and helps to absorb the dressing.
  • Rest before serving: Let it rest before serving, which allows the flavours to blend.
  • Add more crunch: Mix in shredded carrots or thinly sliced bell peppers.

VARIATIONS

  • Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or sliced jalapeños for heat.
  • Herb-Infused: Mix in chopped cilantro, parsley or mint for extra freshness.
  • Creamy Version: Stir in a tablespoon of Greek yoghurt or mayonnaise for a richer texture.
  • Nutty Twist: Sprinkle toasted sunflower seeds or almonds for added crunch.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Short-Term Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • Refreshing Leftovers: Toss with extra lime juice before serving to refresh the flavours.
  • Freezing: Freezing is not recommended because the cabbage will lose its crispness when thawed.
