Some consumers may choose coleslaw as their side dish in order to not go overboard with other unhealthy options such as French fries or onion rings.

A typical serving of coleslaw actually has about 15 grams of sugar, which is likely due to the dressing. Making it yourself will allow you to control how much and what kind of dressing is being added.
