How do you keep coleslaw from being watery?

A good trick for preventing your coleslaw from being watery is adding a little salt.  Place your shredded cabbage into a colander over a bowl.  Make sure that the cabbage is as dry as possible and pat with a paper towel.  Sprinkle one teaspoon per pound of cabbage over the shreds and toss evenly.

Is Coleslaw good for your health?

Coleslaw itself is good for your body.  Cabbage and carrots are good in nutritional value.  The added amount of calories with a full fat mayonnaise is not however.  You can always substitute the mayonnaise with greek yogurt to make it better for you.

How long does homemade coleslaw last?

It lasts for 3-5 days.  To maximize its freshness, make sure to store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
