Creamy Coleslaw Recipe
I have to say that I was absolutely NOT a fan of coleslaw until this recipe. My sweet sister-in-law brought this recipe with her to a family gathering and I was so impressed by it that I asked it I could share it with all of you! I think you’ll love it too. This creamy coleslaw recipe is now a favorite to add with any BBQ recipes I make. It’s especially good over the top of my slow cooker BBQ beef which you can find here.

What Ingredients Are in Creamy Coleslaw?
- Coleslaw Mix – Coleslaw mix has a mixture of both red and green cabbage and carrots that are thinly sliced. It comes in a 16 oz. (1lb) bag at most grocery stores.
- Mayonnaise – This is the base of the dressing.
- White Vinegar – Vinegar gives the coleslaw that tang that we love!
- Sugar – As previously mentioned, coleslaw is tangy so adding some sugar adds not only flavor but a hint of sweetness as well.
