Tasting advice

Little advice, if you are one of those who love vinegar, do not add sugar during preparation. By banishing this ingredient, you will bring out more of that acidic taste that you enjoy so much.

Also note that letting the ingredients marinate in vinegar for a long time enhances the flavor of the coleslaw. If you want to give your Quebecois coleslaw an even more exquisite flavor, prepare it the day before tasting it.
