CREAMY COLESLAW DRESSING



Creamy Coleslaw Dressing image

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.

3/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
Juice of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
