How to keep grated veg

[CuriousHedgehog]

Got some pre-grated veg from Tesco - beetroot and butternut squash. Best before date is Tuesday but I won’t be using it until Friday. I’m going to be making it into a slaw using Greek yogurt and vinegar. How do people think it will keep best? Just as is in the sealed bag (will probably go a dit dry but I’ll be adding the dressing)? Made into the slaw in the fridge (dressing might separate)? In the freezer (will probably go watery when I defrost it)?
Any advice much appreciated.

The vinegar in the slaw should keep it well. So second option.

I would put it in the freezer

Slaw made with raw butternut squash sounds...interesting. Have you ever tried raw squash op? It's horrible!

[CuriousHedgehog]

Hmm... mixed responses. I think I will make up the slaw. msHippo, yes I’ve had raw squash - it’s okay in salads if it’s grated/ finely sliced but in a slaw it starts to pickle, so it’s not really raw and much nicer!

I don't think already cut veg with BB of Tuesday is suitable on Friday, it's not going to be great. I'd make other plans. Sorry.

I buy Tesco grated beetroot every Friday, it lasts me at least five days but not sure if that takes it over best by date, but never had a problem with it. On the other hand any time I have bought butternut it never keeps more than a day, it goes very sour. I think I'd pickle it straight away to decrease the chance of it going off.
