I serve this almost every time we entertain outside in the summer, and it's also a dish I'll bring with me to functions. It is always well received and very different from the standard coleslaw you might pick up at the deli. I usually prepare this at least 12 hours before first serving, 24 hours seems to be optimal, but it is good even a few hours after mixing together. I can almost guarantee someone will remark how "fresh" this tastes!
