This dressing can stand on its own when it is served with tacos or pulled pork. This handcrafted creamy coleslaw hits the ideal mix between sweet and acidic flavours, while also retaining its crispness and freshness. No slaw that is sloppy here!

Notes
- Homemade Coleslaw Mix: In lieu of bagged coleslaw mix, you can use 4 cups of shredded green cabbage (about 1 head) and add ½ cup shredded carrot.
- Sugar and Vinegar Adjustments: Both of these ingredients can be scaled up or down to suit your personal preference. Make it a sweeter or tangier dressing easily!
- Add-ins: Optional add-ins for different flavors and textures could include chopped apple, green onion, purple cabbage, dried cranberries, sliced almonds (or other nuts), and sunflower seeds.
- Storing: Store this creamy coleslaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Freezing: Since the dressing contains mayonnaise, I would not recommend freezing coleslaw for longer storage. The mayo will separate in the thawing process and leave you with a soggy slaw.
- Making Ahead:Making the coleslaw mix and keeping it in a jar that is sealed that is separate from the dressing is something that I would recommend doing if you are wanting to save some time and prepare the dish in advance. All the way up to three days in advance, they can be prepared. Toss the dressing with the mixture at least one hour before you intend to serve it, and up to eight hours before that.
