This quick Homemade Coleslaw recipe is good with so many things! Basically anything you are grilling, this quick homemade Coleslaw recipe makes an amazing side dish. Try serving this with my Simple Grilled Chicken Kabobs, Grilled Turkey Burgers, Smash Burgers, or my Summer Steak Skillet.

How long does homemade coleslaw last?

Homemade coleslaw will last up to 3 days in the fridge. I don’t like to let it sit in the fridge for longer than that as I find it starts to become soggy. It’s better to make smaller batches and make it more often, then make a large batch if you don’t eat it all.

How should I store homemade coleslaw?

Store homemade coleslaw in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I like to make coleslaw fresh and eat most of it as I don’t think it tastes as good the longer it sits around.

Why go organic?

You may be wondering why I push organic ingredients for everything, even savory and healthy dishes. Organic ingredients go beyond just health and wellness, and contribute so much to the taste and flavor of a recipe. So, if you think that you're making something healthy and buying fruits, veggies, or meats so maybe you don't need to spend the extra to go organic here – let me sway your thinking.

Organic ingredients are made in a more pure way, therefore using no additives, no GMOs, and minimal ingredients. This really allows the true ingredients to shine – and because of that their flavor shines through. Therefore, organic ingredients are more flavorful than their non organic counterparts. So, just because it's already a healthy recipe, or you're already buying good for you ingredients – it doesn't mean you can skip organic! Trust me here, and make the switch. Your body and your taste buds will thank you!

So, I highly recommend that you buy the best organic ingredients for this recipe! You can also shop my Amazon Storefront for all my favorite organic ingredients here. Tip – hover over each ingredient to see the name. And if you want to learn more about organic foods and the difference, read my post here on Food Labels and What They Mean.
