Notes
Spicy Coleslaw: Add more siracha to make your coleslaw spicier. If you don't want it spicy, just omit the siracha.
Make ahead option: Prepare and combine all veggies. Then prepare the coleslaw dressing. Store both separately in airtight containers in fridge for up to a week or earlier. When ready to serve, just toss the slaw with the dressing and garnish.
