For a creamier slaw, substitute 2 tablespoons of the canola oil with mayonnaise or Greek yogurt. If you don't have apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar or lime juice can be used as a substitute. For a sweeter slaw, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the dressing. If you're short on time, you can use pre-shredded cabbage and carrots. This slaw is best served chilled. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
