Tips for Making Coleslaw Dressing
While this recipe is simple to do, there are a few tips to keep in mind. Make certain that you’re mixing the dressing well before applying it to the shredded coleslaw.
It’s must harder to mix once it’s on the cabbage versus making certain it’s mixed well before adding it.
You can always add in extra sweetener or sugar at the end once you mix it all together. It’s better to follow the recipe and then alter it slowly than to alter it too much and not like the outcome.
This would be good as a dressing on salads as well as a unique dip idea for veggies as well.
