Creamy cole slaw

I can never decide which I prefer at a picnic or BBQ, cole slaw or potato salad, so I usually make both. I like my cole slaw a little bit tangy and a little bit sweet. This simple, creamy cole slaw recipe takes less than five minutes to throw together. It tastes best if it’s made an hour or so before serving to give the flavors a chance to develop.

I serve it as a side dish, or as added crunch in Pulled pork sliders.
