Bonefish Grill Coleslaw Recipe – Step by Step Preparation

Step 1:

Step 3:

Combine: Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat thoroughly. Make sure the dressing is evenly distributed throughout.

Step 4:

Tips for Success

1. Ensure your vegetables are dry before mixing to avoid a watery coleslaw.
2. For best flavor, allow the coleslaw to chill and marinate for at least one hour.
3. Use fresh ingredients, particularly the cabbage and carrots, for the best texture and taste.
4. If you prefer a creamier texture, add a bit more mayonnaise.
5. Taste and adjust the seasoning after the coleslaw has chilled, as flavors will develop over time.

Variations

• Asian Twist: Add a splash of soy sauce and sesame oil to the dressing, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
• Spicy Kick: Include a tablespoon of Dijon mustard or a few dashes of hot sauce in the dressing for some heat.
• Herb Freshness: Mix in fresh chopped parsley or cilantro for an aromatic touch.
