Notes
- You can use white wine vinegar, if you prefer, but apple cider vinegar tastes better in my opinion. The vinegar helps balance the flavour of the coleslaw, cuts through the creaminess and stops it being too rich and cloying, but you can leave it out if you prefer.
- Not suitable for freezing.
