Best 6 Coleslaw That Lasts Recipes
Coleslaw is a versatile side dish that can be enjoyed at picnics, potlucks, and backyard barbecues. However, coleslaw can quickly wilt and become watery, making it less than appealing. If you're looking for a coleslaw recipe that will last for days, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First, choose a coleslaw mix that is made with cabbage that is firm and crisp. Avoid mixes that contain shredded carrots, as they will add moisture to the coleslaw and make it more likely to wilt. Second, use a mayonnaise-based dressing that is made with vinegar and sugar. The vinegar will help to preserve the coleslaw, while the sugar will help to balance out the acidity of the vinegar. Finally, store the coleslaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator. By following these tips, you can enjoy delicious, fresh coleslaw for days to come.

SERIOUSLY GOOD HOMEMADE COLESLAW
With a generous amount of acidity from apple cider vinegar and Dijon mustard, our coleslaw recipe is anything but dull. Instead, it is packed with fresh, lively flavors that wake up anything you serve with it. Unlike some of the more traditional or popular recipes for coleslaw, we skip the addition of sugar to our coleslaw dressing. Try this as a topping to sandwiches, served next to ultra-savory meats, like braised beef or pork. Or, mound some on top of your next hot dog or hamburger. Sugar: We find that the cabbage and carrots are sweet enough. If you disagree, add a teaspoon or two of sugar (or honey) to the dressing before mixing with the cabbage and carrot.

Steps:
- Quarter the cabbage through the core, and then cut out the core. Cut each quarter crosswise in half and finely shred. Place the shredded cabbage in a very large bowl (you will have 6 to 8 cups).
- Add the shredded carrot and parsley to the cabbage and toss to mix.
- In a separate bowl, stir the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, celery seeds, salt, and pepper together. Taste for acidity and seasoning, then adjust as desired. If the dressing tastes too tart and you prefer a sweeter coleslaw, stir in the optional sugar.
- Pour two-thirds of the dressing over the cabbage and carrot then mix well. (Clean hands are the quickest tool).
- If the coleslaw seems dry, add a little more of the dressing. Eat right away or let it sit in the refrigerator for about an hour to let the flavors mingle and the cabbage to soften.
