- I've estimated this recipe serves approximately 6 - 8, but feel free to divide it into as many servings as you'd like.
- Please feel free to adjust the sugar amount to your tastes.
- If you can pick up a bag of coleslaw mix that includes red cabbage, you can use that and omit the extra red cabbage.
- Instead of using a pre-shredded coleslaw mix, you can use about 4 cups of shredded green cabbage, 2/3 - 1 cup of shredded carrots, and 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage.
