Creamy Cole Slaw
Creamy cole slaw with a sweet and tangy dressing made with mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, and sugar. A longtime family favorite that’s easy to prepare ahead.

Notes
I use a 16-ounce bag of prepared coleslaw mix for convenience. You can substitute 1 pound of shredded cabbage.
Prepare several hours ahead or the night before serving to give the flavors time to blend.
This is a longtime recipe my family has always made and preferred, rather than a recipe we created.
Serve alongside pasta dishes, seafood, or any meal you enjoy with creamy cole slaw.
