Notes
Tips and Tricks
Use crisp apples - Choose firm apples that hold their shape after chopping. Softer apples can become mushy in the dressing. Keep it cold - Refrigerate the coleslaw until serving, especially if you're taking it to a cookout or potluck. Stir before serving - The dressing may settle slightly while the coleslaw chills. Give it a gentle stir before serving.Storing
Refrigerate leftovers - Place leftover apple coleslaw in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 to 3 days. Expect the texture to soften - The cabbage and apples will release moisture as they sit, so the coleslaw will become softer over time. Do not freeze - Freezing changes the texture of the cabbage, apples, and yogurt dressing.Nutrition
