  3. Season the dressing generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasonings as needed.

For a sweeter coleslaw, add 1-2 tablespoons more sugar. You can also add toasted pecans or walnuts for added crunch. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
