How long can I keep coleslaw in the fridge?

Coleslaw will keep for 3-5 days in an airtight container. However, the longer it sits, the soggier it will get, so we suggest consuming within 2-3 days for the best results.

What type of cabbage should I use?

We used both purple and green cabbage, but they are interchangeable, so you can just use one or the other if preferred. Purple cabbage is also more nutrient dense .

What does coleslaw mean?

Coleslaw gets its origins from the Dutch koolsla , meaning "cabbage salad".

Instructions

Prep the vegetables. The easiest way to do so is to use a food processor shredder attachment (if you have one). It works for both the 1 1/2 cups of carrots and the 6 total cups of cabbage. If you don't have a food processor, use a grater to grate the carrots, and use a sharp knife to cut the cabbage into thin, bite-sized strips.
Make the dressing. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together all ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Assemble. Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl, add the dressing and toss until thoroughly coated. You can either serve right away, or refrigerate for an hour to let the flavors intensify.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. Coleslaw will taste best if consumed within 2-3 days.

To make prep easier, try using the slicing attachment on your food processor to prep the cabbage and carrots, or purchase them pre-shredded.

Purple and green cabbage taste more or less the same, so don't worry if you can only find one or the other at the grocery store.

For maximum freshness and minimum sogginess, prep the dressing and the veggies separately and mix them together when ready to serve.
