Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover coleslaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should keep well for up to 3 days, although the texture may soften as it sits.
  • Freezing: I do not recommend freezing this coleslaw as the vegetables may lose their crispness and texture once thawed.
  • Pairing: This coleslaw pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, sandwiches, or can be enjoyed on its own as a light lunch.
  • Serving Suggestions: Try serving it in taco shells or atop pulled jackfruit for a unique twist. It’s versatile!
  • Flavor Boost: If you like a bit of kick, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or some sliced jalapeños to the mix.
