American coleslaw is made with finely shredded cabbage, onions, carrots, or apples, and drizzled with a spicy milk- or vinegar-based dressing. Make Texas-style coleslaw by adding orange juice to the basic coleslaw dressing. Combined with chili pepper, it creates an interesting flavor combination typical of Southern and Central American cuisine. Toasted pecans also add a distinctive savory flavor and aroma.
