Tips and Tricks for Making the Best Coleslaw

- If the Weight Watchers coleslaw seems dry initially, don’t worry; the cabbage will release liquid over time. Adding more dressing immediately can make it soupy. If you want more moisture after resting, add a couple of spoonfuls of Greek yogurt just before serving.
- Gently warm the honey to help it dissolve into the dressing more easily, but be careful not to overheat it, as hot honey can curdle the Greek yogurt.
