Notes
Smart Shopping Tips
- Store shelled nuts at room temperature for up to three months. Store shelled or unshelled nuts in the refrigerator for up to six months, or in the freezer for a year or more.
- When choosing cabbage, pick a tight, compact head that feels heavy for its size. It should look crisp and fresh, with few loose leaves. Store whole heads of cabbage in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator.
- If you buy a head of cabbage larger than a pound, slice up what is leftover and sauté in olive oil with some chopped garlic and a dash of soy sauce.
- Instead of walnuts, use pecans or other nuts.
- For a new flavor combination, substitute toasted sesame seeds for nuts.
- Coleslaw is a great crunchy topping for burgers or sub sandwiches.
