Homemade Coleslaw Recipe

Our favorite homemade coleslaw recipe is a lightened-up version of a classic creamy coleslaw.

We’ve essentially taken our favorite oil and vinegar coleslaw dressing and added just enough mayonnaise to create a creamy consistency without an overload of fat and calories.

For best flavor, prepare it at least an hour ahead of serving time to allow the flavors to develop and blend.
