How To Make creamy country coleslaw

  • 1
    Add coleslaw mix and shredded carrot to large bowl and set aside.
  • 2
    In a medium bowl, whisk to combine dressing ingredients. (You may not use the entire amount of dressing in the salad.)
  • 3
    Add approximately 3/4 of the salad dressing and toss gently to coat. If you like a wetter coleslaw, you can add more. I usually add 3/4, and then check it right before serving. If it seems dry, I add more then.)

    Cover, refrigerate and chill for 1-2 hours.
