Practical notes

Is it cold slaw or coleslaw?

We call it coleslaw, but you are welcome to call it cold slaw if that is what you say in your neck of the woods! Coleslaw is made with finely shredded cabbage, carrots, and a mayo-based dressing.

How do you fix watery coleslaw?

If you find that the coleslaw is too watery add in a teaspoon at a time of mayonnaise and see how you like the texture then. Just repeat until it reaches the thickness you prefer.

Can we make coleslaw in advance?

You will want to make this coleslaw ahead of time and store in the fridge by at least 3 hours. But it is best if made the day before you plan to eat it. You have a creamy coleslaw with a crispness to it!

Can we use apple cider vinegar in replace of distilled vinegar?

We personally have not tried to switch out the vinegar in this recipe. Apple Cider Vinegar has a stout flavor, so we don’t think it would carry over well. We do think you could use White Wine Vinegar in replace of white distilled possibly.
