Notes
- You can substitute seasoned salt with a combination of garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt if you prefer a homemade seasoning blend.
- For a lighter version, consider using low-fat mayonnaise or Greek yogurt instead of regular mayonnaise.
- Additions like shredded carrots or thinly sliced red cabbage can add extra color and crunch.
- The slaw keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but is best consumed fresh for optimal texture.
- Toast the almonds lightly before adding for extra flavor and crunch.
