For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference; some may prefer a tangier coleslaw. Make sure to shred the cabbage very finely for the best texture. The coleslaw will become more flavorful as it sits, so don't be afraid to make it a day ahead. If you prefer a creamier coleslaw, add an extra tablespoon or two of mayonnaise.
