How To Cut Cabbage

Remove and discard the outermost leaves and cut the very bottom of the stem off. Place the head of cabbage on its end where you cut and slice down the center vertically. Cut each half lengthwise.

Remove the core and stem by cutting a wedge out of each quarter. Place each cabbage quarter onto a flat portion so it is lying flat and slice 1/4-inch strips, creating shredded cabbage.

FAQ About Coleslaw

Can coleslaw be frozen?

Coleslaw without mayo can be frozen with little change to its consistency. Mayonnaise-based coleslaw can also be frozen, but the mayo will separate slightly after it has thawed which changes the consistency.

How to make cabbage coleslaw?

In a medium bowl, combine mayo, mustard, parsley, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Mix well. In a large bowl, combine shredded green and red cabbage along with matchstick-cut carrots and mix. Add the dressing and stir until coated. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve!

Can coleslaw go bad?

Coleslaw tastes the best on the first day it is made, but it will last in the fridge for 3-4 days when stored in an airtight container. The quality will diminish with each passing day.

Will coleslaw keep overnight?

I recommend making coleslaw the same day it is being served for optimal freshness. Preparing it the day before serving might save some time and will keep just fine in the fridge. Be sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap and consider keeping the cabbage mix and the dressing separate until just before serving.
