# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It gets better as it sits, so you can make it ahead and let the flavors deepen in the fridge.
  • The crunch is so satisfying, and the sun-dried tomatoes add bursts of sweetness that keep every bite interesting.
02 -
  • Don't skip the resting time, the cabbage needs those few minutes to absorb the dressing and lose some of its raw edge.
  • If you make this ahead, keep the dressing separate and toss it just before serving to keep everything crisp and fresh.
03 -
  • Massage the cabbage with a pinch of salt for a minute before adding the dressing, it breaks down the fibers and makes everything more tender.
  • Taste your sun-dried tomatoes before adding salt to the dressing, some brands are much saltier than others and you might need less seasoning overall.
