Cabbage Salad or Cold Slaw

The dressing can be whisked together up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container. The cabbage can be chopped up to 4 hours ahead, wrapped in damp paper towels, and refrigerated. For best texture, combine the dressing and cabbage no more than 2 hours before serving, as the salad will continue to soften and release liquid over time.

Store dressed coleslaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The cabbage will become increasingly soft and the dressing will thin as the cabbage releases moisture. Drain excess liquid and re-season with a pinch of sugar and splash of vinegar before serving leftovers. Not suitable for freezing.
