For added flavor and texture, consider adding finely chopped onions and bell peppers to the cabbage and carrot mixture before freezing. Be sure to use freezer-safe containers to prevent freezer burn and maintain the quality of the slaw. Thawing in the refrigerator is recommended for the best texture. Avoid thawing at room temperature. The slaw will maintain the best quality if frozen for no more than two months.

Feb 16, 2025I found that the slaw was a little too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the sugar by half a cup. It was perfect after that!
