Notes
How to Store
Transfer Orange Coleslaw to an airtight container or a covered bowl and place it in the refrigerator. It can typically be stored for up to 3-4 days. However, remember that the cabbage's texture may soften slightly over time. When you're ready to serve the coleslaw, remove it from the refrigerator and give it a gentle toss to redistribute the dressing before serving it cold or at room temperature.
Make-Ahead
Orange Coleslaw without the dressing can be made a day ahead and stored in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add the dressing, orange zest, and juice right before serving to prevent the coleslaw from becoming too soggy.
