Blue Ribbon Recipe

This recipe will convert anyone to a coleslaw lover. Thanks to a combination of mayonnaise, buttermilk, sugar, white vinegar, and spices, the homemade dressing is cream, slightly sweet, and tangy. It soaks into the shredded slaw and carrots and is better as it sits. It will be great with pulled pork or as a side dish for any summer party.

    Add approximately 3/4 of the salad dressing and toss gently to coat. If you like a wetter coleslaw, add more. I usually add 3/4 and then check it right before serving. If it seems dry, I add more then.
