Notes
Cabbage & Carrots: Instead of using fresh cabbage and carrots, you can also use a 14-ounce bag of store-bought coleslaw mix. I recommend rinsing and drying to slightly rehydrate.
Optional Additions: Feel free to add 1-2 tablespoons of finely minced or grated yellow or white onion and ¼ teaspoon of ground pepper to the coleslaw dressing, if desired.
Vinegar: If you don't have distilled white vinegar, apple cider vinegar works as well.
Storage: Store coleslaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator. While it will keep for 3-4 days, coleslaw is best served within 48 hours of preparation, as it begins to lose its texture. If this happens, drain off excess liquid and add a spoonful of mayo to make it creamy again.
