Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup mayo
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2.5 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 3 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Pepper to taste
  • 14-16 ounces coleslaw mix see note

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients except for the coleslaw mix to a medium bowl, and combine until smooth. Taste and adjust if needed.
  • Add the coleslaw mix to a large bowl. Pour the dressing over and toss. Depending how creamy you want the salad, you may have a little dressing left over.
  • I recommend letting the flavors meld for a few hours in the fridge prior to serving, but you could serve right away if needed.

Notes

  • Coleslaw mix can vary in size depending where you buy it, but anything from 14-16 oz. will work. If you prefer, you can chop/shred your own cabbage and carrots vs. buying a conveniently prepped bag from your local grocery store. You'd want about 8 cups of shredded cabbage/carrots if you're making the coleslaw mix yourself.
