Add as many or as few fresh herbs as you desire. 
TIME SAVER TIP
If you are pressed for time buy your pre-cut coleslaw mix from Coles Or Woolworths. We tend to steer clear of their pre-made dressings and instead use one of our own (as per our recipes).
In place of the spice mixture, we recommend Mingle Seasoning Mexican Blend for a pre-made spice blends (without the nasties!).
These are both excellent options when busy.
