Notes

How to Store
To store coleslaw, transfer it to an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator. Coleslaw can typically be stored for up to three days, but its quality may deteriorate over time. If you're making coleslaw ahead of time, it's best to keep the dressing and vegetables separate until you're ready to serve it.
This will help to prevent the vegetables from becoming too soggy. Then, when you're ready to serve, toss the vegetables with the dressing and any additional ingredients, such as herbs or nuts.
Make-Ahead
Coleslaw is a great dish to make ahead of time for parties, picnics, or meal prep. To make coleslaw ahead of time, prepare the vegetables and dressing separately and store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve. Shredded cabbage, carrots, and onion can typically be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The dressing can also be made ahead of time and stored in a separate container. When you're ready to serve, mix the dressing and vegetables and add ingredients, such as herbs or nuts.
It's best to wait until just before serving to rearrange everything to prevent the vegetables from becoming too soggy. If the coleslaw seems dry, add a little more dressing to moisten it. With some planning, you can easily make a delicious coleslaw ahead of time that will impress your guests or make your meal prep a breeze.
