Family Favorite Coleslaw

This is the last coleslaw recipe you will have to try. The amazing sauce is creamy but not overly "mayo" flavored. Guaranteed to be a hit at your next meal or gathering! Be sure to allow the coleslaw to rest for at least a few hours to allow the veg to soak up all that yummy sauce!
