I must admit to being incredibly lazy when making coleslaw: I use pre-sliced bagged coleslaw mix. I reach for the bags with both red and green cabbage and carrots—the more colors the merrier!
Sometimes, I like to add golden raisins, shredded broccoli, finely sliced apples, and even thinly sliced Brussels sprouts, to add wonderful color, crunch, and sweetness. But for this make-ahead tailgate party version, since the coleslaw has to live a little longer in the fridge, less is more.
