    Cook’s Note

    Taste the dressing before adding vegetables; tweak dressing ingredient amounts if desired, based on what you're serving with the slaw. For instance, I add more sweet chili sauce and rice vinegar for Asian-inspired wonton tacos. For fish tacos, I usually add more lime rind and juice. And sometimes, I supplement some of the mayo with sour cream.

    You can use chopped green chili instead of sweet chili sauce. If you do this, double the amount of sugar.

    The lime rind is optional. You can omit it if you only have bottled lime juice on hand.
