If desired, you can add other shredded vegetables, such as celery or bell peppers, for additional flavor and crunch.
You can also adjust the seasonings to your preference. If you want a creamier coleslaw, you can add more mayonnaise. If you want a tangier flavor, you can add a bit more vinegar or lemon juice. You can also add in a bit of hot sauce to give it a bit of a kick.
