Notes

Please note frozen coleslaw must be consumed within a couple of months of freezing after properly thawing them. Never freeze coleslaw that is a couple of days old because it has a higher chance of bacterial growth. It increases the risk of developing food poisoning.
Vinegar and oil-based coleslaws that use celery seed, mustard seed, and lemon juice freeze well. They can be frozen with the dressing already mixed.
