Once you see how easy it is to make my classic coleslaw dressing, you'll never buy store-bought coleslaw dressing again. Making homemade dressings lets you control the ingredients.

Just shred a head of cabbage with a box grater or food processor, and add cole slaw dressing, shredded carrots, or red cabbage for the perfect balance of flavors with just a couple of minutes of work.

Mix the dressing with 6 cups of shredded cabbage and one shredded carrot to make delicious homemade coleslaw. Or use one 14-ounce bag of store-bought coleslaw mix for a quick and easy coleslaw, perfect for your next backyard barbecue or get-together. Add my homemade macaroni salad, and you’ve got a party!

My easy recipe for coleslaw dressing makes the best coleslaw and the perfect side dish for hot dogs, hamburgers, pulled pork sandwiches, barbecued ribs, fried chicken, or just about anything you can think of.

Store the dressing in an airtight container, refrigerated for up to one week. You can also use slaw dressing as a sauce for sandwiches, a dip for vegetables or chicken tenders, or as a dressing for other types of salads.
