I just cut up a cabbage, added some oil, vinegar, mayo, yougurt, lemon juice. But it’s really quite plain. Anything else I can do quick?

Spice it up!
Old Bay would make a great, flavorful addition if you happen to have some on hand.
Anything like Emeril’s Essence would be an easy flavor-kick as well.
A small amount of shaved red onion. A few mustard seeds. Maybe a bit of julienned apple.
edit: I forgot, maybe a little bit of fennel. Or, maybe, some caraway.
Cashews!
I am THE cole slaw queen in my family…a can of cashew pieces is amazing, everyone goes nuts for it! lol
I use shredded red & green cabbage, shredded carrots, a mayo type dressing and cashews.
Grate a carrot, add dill and sweet pickles, and add a little celery seed. Some people like onion in it; I’m not one of them. Also, I see no need for the oil.
Throw it out the window of a speeding train and replace it with chocolate cake!
Actually the cashews sound good: :))
Were you going by a recipe or just throwing stuff together?
always some sugar or substitute…...rice vinegar…..carrots…..
Yup like someone said little bit of sugar. and carrot
Add some black pepper. A little bit of finely minced onion and finely diced red bell pepper.
Also, this sounds odd, but blue cheese is really good in coleslaw.
Someone’s mother I knew made superb coleslaw and used caraway seeds. I still make it the same way.
Grated ginger
can of crushed pineapple
sweet red pepper
Maybe this was implied, but I didn’t see salt on the list of ingredients. If you haven’t added any, DO! Even a very small amount really brings out the flavors of food, and make them taste brighter and less “plain”.
Some Bon Appetite seasoning or some celery salt, and a little bit of Lemon Pepper.
