FAQs

Can I make this the day before?

Yes—just mix everything except the strawberries. Stir them in right before serving to keep them fresh and firm.

How long does it last in the fridge?

It’s best eaten within 24 hours, but can keep up to 3 days. The strawberries will soften and release juices over time.

Is this sweet or savory?

It’s a little of both! The lemon adds brightness, the mayo gives it creaminess, and the strawberries bring a touch of sweetness without making it a dessert.

Hello, I found your recipe on Just a Pinch recipe club and made it for our 4th of July celebration. It is so light and delicious. The only thing I did that I wouldn’t recommend unless you love the color purple is using purple cabbage. It turned EVERYTHING purple!!! lol. I most certainly will use green cabbage the next time so I can see the beautiful strawberries and almonds. The dressing is so yummy and a nice switch from our normal slaw. However, I love coleslaw in all it’s forms, so it’s nice to have yet another recipe to add to my coleslaw list. LOVE IT!!! Thanks again for sharing.
