Tips for Making Coleslaw Dressing
- If you like your coleslaw dressing on the sweet side, following this recipe exactly may not be for you. For a sweeter dressing mix in sugar, 1/2 tsp at a time, to taste.
- The more time in the refrigerator, the better. I like to make mine in the morning so it gets at least a solid 8 hours in the fridge.
