For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of celery seed to the vinegar mixture. If you prefer a milder blue cheese flavor, use a less pungent variety or reduce the amount slightly. This coleslaw is best served chilled. It can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Consider adding toasted pecans or walnuts for a delightful crunch.
