Creamy coleslaw dressing a classic, from-scratch recipe that can be made with ingredients you already have! Never buy store-bought coleslaw dressing again!
Coleslaw Dressing
Now, I know you have a lot of options with coleslaw dressing … for instance, you could just go to the store and buy a mix of the whole thing, salad and all. Or you could find a few fancier slaw recipes online that use miso, kale, raw broccoli, and loads of other delicious ingredients. (Shoot…I have a “fancy” slaw recipe right here on this blog!)
But sometimes you don’t want to be out of the ordinary. Sometimes you just want the meal you know and love. No judgment. I get that way too. (For instance, who doesn’t love plain old chocolate chip cookies or vanilla ice cream in a bowl?) That’s completely fine … and what we’re making here today … a classic coleslaw dressing! You’ll recognize the flavor and the ingredients instantly.
What I can say…homemade is always better than store-bought. That’s an opinion I’ll always have when it comes to food! You can source the ingredients if that’s important to you, tinker things for diet needs, plus homemade is always magically better tasting, I swear. And this coleslaw dressing recipe is leagues and leagues better than the mixes at the store, plus it’s honestly just as easy to make. Try it out, and you’ll understand where I’m coming from!
