How long should the slaw sit after adding dressing?

Let the slaw sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before assembling the wrap.

Are there any suggested additions for extra crunch?

Toasted walnuts or sunflower seeds add a satisfying crunch and complement the slaw’s fresh ingredients.
