# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The apple adds this incredible sweetness that makes regular coleslaw feel boring in comparison
  • It stays perfectly crispy for days, so you can make it ahead without that sad wilted situation
02 -
  • Tossing your grated apple with a tablespoon of lemon juice before adding it prevents that sad brown color that happens too quickly
  • This slaw actually gets better after sitting for a few hours, so dont stress about making it last minute
03 -
  • Use a mandoline if you have one, those paper thin cabbage shreds make the texture absolutely restaurant quality
  • Letting it rest in the fridge for at least an hour before serving is the difference between good and cant stop eating it
