In restaurants, it's often in a paper cup swimming in milky mayo. It wasn't until I started grocery shopping that I came upon bottled "slaw dressing". Yech. Coleslaw doesn't have to be an afterthought. It doesn't have to be ignored. You can jazz it up with my dressing and some creative additions.

    This dressing is quite thick. Dress the slaw and serve immediately. It will bleed out liquid if refrigerated over night, so try to make just enough to eat at one sitting.
