Carolina Coleslaw

This is one of my very favorite coleslaw recipes with an easy vinegar-based dressing.  The best part is that you probably have all the dressing ingredients in your fridge and pantry!

I’ve been making this slaw for a while now… I shared it a few months after I started the blog and it was in need of a makeover with new photos!

This coleslaw is a perfect side dish for spring and summer picnics, cookouts and potlucks… so creamy, crunchy and refreshing.    I love it on sandwiches with this easy Slow Cooker Pulled Pork, too!

Enjoy!
