Notes
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Make ahead: this recipe can be made in advance, a couple hours is best, this gives time for the salad to chill and the flavors to meld. To keep the coleslaw crisp though, it is recommend to serve this dish the same day it’s prepared.
