This no-mayo, zesty coleslaw is light and tangy, and terrific as a standalone side or a tasty topper for sandwiches, burgers, and salads.

For the perfect veggie-to-dressing ratio, be sure to add the dressing slowly until you reach your desired amount, because you’ll likely have some leftover and you don’t want to oversaturate the shredded veggies. Once everything is mixed together, serve immediately or let the bowl sit in the fridge for a few hours so the flavors can sink in and mingle. Hope you love it!
