Notes
- Drain Beans and Corn Well: Excess liquid can water down the dressing and soften the slaw.
- Chill Before Serving: Refrigerating the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes helps the flavors blend and improves texture.
- Adjust Seasoning to Taste: Taco seasoning brands vary in salt and spice level, so taste and adjust before chilling.
- Cut Vegetables Evenly: Uniform pieces ensure consistent texture and flavor in each bite.
- Stir Before Serving: Give the slaw a quick toss before serving to redistribute the dressing.
