Notes
Make-Ahead: If you make this vinegar coleslaw ahead of time and slice the vegetables super thin, it may not be perfect when you go to serve it several hours later or the next day. If you plan on making it ahead of time, I would recommend combining the vegetables and keeping the dressing separate right until you are ready to serve.How to Store: It is best to store this coleslaw recipe undressed and unseasoned, covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve. It can stay in the refrigerator undressed and unseasoned for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, simply pour the vinaigrette over the top, season with salt and pepper, toss and serve.Now just know that when you shave vegetables super thin like I did in this recipe and apply an acid to them, like vinegar, it’s going to break down faster and become wilted or, to put it simply, soggy.You can substitute honey or agave for sugar in this recipe.To save some time, If you don't want to slice the cabbages and carrots yourself, then I suggest buying the pre-made slaw mix. It will work just as well.
