Notes
- For extra crunch, serve immediately after preparation.
- This slaw can be made a few hours in advance to let the flavors meld, but avoid making too far ahead to maintain crisp texture.
- Mayonnaise can be replaced with a vegan alternative to make this slaw vegan-friendly.
- Adjust salt and lime juice to taste for desired acidity and seasoning.
- Add a pinch of sugar or honey if you prefer a slightly sweet balance to the tang.
