More Mix-In Ideas

If you are feeling a rush of creativity, then there is no harm in taking a classic and mixing-in new flavors!

You can add some cilantro, green onions, corn, jalapeno, or sugar snap peas to you mix. And if you are looking for a sweeter tang, then apples, strawberries, sliced almonds, or dried cranberries would do your coleslaw serving wonders.

Now when it comes to seasoning, add a pinch of onion powder, garlic powder, or dry mustard for a bold aftertaste.

Tips for The Best Coleslaw Salad

Tip 1: Cover your coleslaw with saran wrap and refrigerate for at least three hours before eating. This soften the crunch of the cabbage.

Tip 2: If you want to save time and money, then aim at buying the pre-shredded coleslaw mix.

Tip 3: If you are craving an extra kick, then add a bit of Dijon mustard for some added flavor and spice.


Frequently Asked Questions

How do I store my coleslaw salad?

Refrigerate your coleslaw salad in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days.

Why does my coleslaw salad tastes bitter?

Cabbage usually contains bitter components, and to prevent having a bitter aftertaste to your coleslaw I recommend adding a bit of sugar.
This would create a balance of flavor.

Can coleslaw be frozen?

If your coleslaw dressing is vinegar-based then you can freeze it. However, I wouldn’t recommend freezing mayonnaise-based coleslaw because the dressing will breakdown when thawed.
