Notes
Make coleslaw at least an hour before serving. For best results let it sit 4-8 hours.
Coleslaw is only good for up to 3 days. It is normal for your coleslaw to get watery over time. The cabbage contains water and will start to release the water over time. This is why I advise to only keep it up to 3 days.
