How To Make

TOP TIPS FOR THE CREAMIEST COLESLAW

• Prepare your slaw in a large bowl for an easy mix. 
• If you desire a crispier texture serve immediately after tossing. If you like your cabbage more tender, place it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes for a creamier result. 
• Let your coleslaw rest in the refrigerator, but don’t forget to taste test before scoping it up, add salt to taste. 

TAKE YOUR COLESLAW TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH MIX-INS

• Add extra flavor with delectable cheeses like blue or cheddar cheese. 
• Swirl in a smidge of honey to sweeten the flavor (or in place of the sugar). 
• Add in dried or fresh fruit for a new take on an old classic. 

Storage

Place any leftovers in an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. It will release some liquid after a few days, make sure to drain it before serving. Unfortunately, coleslaw doesn’t freeze well.
