Instructions

Add the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots to a large mixing bowl. Toss until evenly combined.
Pour ½ cup of the Caesar dressing over the vegetables. Add the lemon juice, ½ cup of Parmesan cheese, and black pepper.
Toss the coleslaw until everything is evenly coated. Add the remaining Caesar dressing a little at a time until it reaches your preferred consistency.
Taste and add salt if needed. Keep in mind that Caesar dressing and Parmesan cheese can already be fairly salty.
Let the coleslaw rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
Immediately before serving, fold in 1 cup of croutons.
Transfer the Caesar coleslaw to a serving bowl or platter. Top it with the remaining Parmesan, croutons, and additional black pepper.
Serve chilled.

Notes

Slice the cabbage very thinly for the best texture.
Two 14-ounce bags of plain coleslaw mix can be substituted for the cabbage and carrots.
The amount of dressing needed may vary depending on the size and freshness of the cabbage.
Add the croutons immediately before serving to prevent them from becoming soggy.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
For the best leftovers, keep extra croutons separate and add them to individual servings.
