CLASSIC CREAMY COLESLAW
Classic Creamy Coleslaw was served with fried chicken for years at an auction near Martha Artyomenko's Beaver Bay, Minnesota home. "When the lady who made this tasty salad move, I contacted her to get the recipe," Martha explains." My friends and I often take this coleslaw to weddings (like the one in the photo above) and other gatherings."

CREAMY COLESLAW DRESSING
Coleslaw is one of my all-time favorite foods if it has a nice, creamy dressing. After doing some research, making dozens of different dressings, and trying to find the flavor that I like, I came up with this dressing for coleslaw that became a hit. I'm always asked for this recipe. What surprised me was at a potluck when a culinary chef asked me for my recipe. He told me that it was one of the best he had ever tasted since he had left the southern part of the USA.

Steps:
- Whisk all ingredients in a medium bowl to blend. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
Tips:
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help the coleslaw to absorb the dressing more evenly.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with a shredding disc. Just be careful not to over-process the vegetables, or they will become mushy.
- To make the coleslaw ahead of time, toss the vegetables with the dressing and then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors to meld and the coleslaw to become more flavorful.
- Serve the coleslaw chilled. It's a perfect side dish for summer barbecues, picnics, and potlucks.
