Notes

  • Make Ahead: This coleslaw can be made a day in advance. Keep it refrigerated and toss before serving.
  • Crunch Tip: For a crunchier texture, add the walnuts just before serving.
  • Substitutions: You can swap walnuts for pecans or almonds and use dried cranberries instead of raisins for a variation in flavor.
