THE INGREDIENTS
Coleslaw Dressing Ingredients (Left to Right): Lemon (for lemon juice), coarse ground black pepper, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar and salt.
I used one bag (16 ounces) of Tri-Color Coleslaw filled with a colorful combination of shredded green cabbage, red cabbage and carrots. If desired, you can use your preferred coleslaw mix.
REFRIGERATE COLESLAW DRESSING 24 HOURS BEFORE SERVING
After whipping up the Coleslaw Dressing, tightly cover the bowl (without the coleslaw mix) and refrigerate for 24 hours. The flavors will blend together to produce an amazing taste.
Enjoy!
