FAQs

How long is bleu cheese slaw good for?

This slaw can be kept stored in a well-covered or airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 or 4 days. For best results eat within a day or two because this is something you want to eat fresh, but the flavors taste even better on the second day because the ingredients have had longer to meld together.

What does Greek yogurt do in coleslaw?

This blue cheese coleslaw recipe uses greek yogurt to give us a creamy consistency without being overpowering. Most coleslaw recipes use mayo as a base but we only use a small amount of mayo while using more greek yogurt so that we can still stay true to the roots of this salad while still giving us creamy results in a healthier way.

Can I use storebought coleslaw mix?

Yes, if desired you can swap out the requested cabbage and angel hair coleslaw mix and simply buy a package or two of pre-shredded coleslaw blend from your grocery store’s salad section. This is perfect for helping to reduce the amount of time needed to prep as well as the number of dishes needed since you won’t need to chop the cabbage yourself.
