The Easiest Coleslaw Recipe!
I used to think coleslaw would require a lot of ingredients and insisted on freshly shredded cabbage but this version uses FOUR ingredients and includes a pre-shredded cabbage blend and it tastes perfect! No one has time to use a box grater on green cabbage, so store-bought coleslaw mix is the best move. This coleslaw recipe is one of those back-pocket recipes, especially during the summer with all the potluck cookouts. It’s the perfect last-minute side and goes perfectly with grilled meats and hot or cold sandwiches. It’s just one of those recipes you’ll use over and over, plus it’s super versatile and you can customize it how you like. Keep reading below for some delicious ideas!

How Long Does Coleslaw Keep?
The salt and vinegar in the coleslaw dressing start to break down the cabbage and draw the moisture out, so once the dressing is added I recommend that you serve within a couple of hours for best results. If you have leftovers it can still be eaten the next day the dressing just becomes runnier. Unfortunately, it can’t be frozen. The overall texture will change too much. For make ahead: Mix dressing up to 3 days in advance. Pour over the cabbage mixture when ready to serve.
How to Make Healthy Coleslaw
To make this healthier replace half of the mayo with a thick plain Greek yogurt.
