Heat: chili flakes, minced chiles. Turn store-bought cole slaw into something more flavorful (here’s the recipe for this slaw from Epicurious). Fruit: diced apple, dried cherries or blueberries, raisins, sliced grapes, mango or pineapple. Lemon or lime zest or a squeeze of lemon or lime for spark.

How do you keep coleslaw from getting watery?

What liquid will keep apples from turning brown?

Give the apples a quick spritz of lemon juice, or dilute a few drops of lemon juice in water and soak the apple slices. No fresh lemons? Try bottled lemon juice, lemonade or even orange juice—as long as it’s acidic, it’ll slow browning.

Can you soak apples in water overnight?

My take on this: Soaking apples and pears is a method that works fine if you use plain water, but only for a very short time—I’d say less than 30 minutes, and ideally less than 15. Any longer, and your fruit will brown while the texture suffers.
