This tempting coleslaw is a really easy make-ahead side dish. You can actually make it for up to 2 days ahead. Simply prepare the dressing, made of mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard, and refrigerate in an airtight container. Shred the red and green cabbage, place in a zip-top plastic bag, and alongside. Whether you toss the slaw together 1 hour ahead or 8 hours ahead will depend upon how crispy or soft you prefer your slaw; the longer it sits, the softer the slaw. It also features carrots, sweet red peppers, yellow bell peppers, red onion, and lots of fresh parsley.
