Make your own Coleslaw Dressing with simple ingredients to add to crunchy coleslaw mix for a quick refreshing salad. Perfect for weeknight dinners, cookouts, picnics and of course potlucks too. 

Making your own homemade salad dressing is a lot easier than you think. However the best part is that you can control the ingredients you add, if you like it more sweet add a little more sugar, if you prefer the dressing more sour add less sugar. 

This Coleslaw Dressing has the typical mayonnaise base with seasonings and cider vinegar, but it also has a a little kick from Dijon Mustard and extra flavor from lemon juice and onion powder. 

And it all comes together in less than 5 minutes. Then you can use it right away, poured over cabbage mixture, or seal and keep it in the fridge for a few days until you are ready to use it. 

With a handful of recipes in your pocket that you can make in a hurry – they will free up your time to spend with family, or do something you love. Or even take that quality time you need to spend on yourself.

Coleslaw is one of those underrated salads that can be served along side just about any main dish, packed in the cooler for a picnic, taken to potluck or even added to the top of Pulled Pork Sliders for a little additional crunch. 

While you typically won’t have leftover coleslaw dressing, you may have some Coleslaw that you need to use. There are a wide variety of recipes that use Coleslaw, from burgers to tacos to fish and more. 

You may want to try these recipes using leftover Coleslaw: Carolina Style Burgers, Fish Tacos, Pulled Chicken Sandwiches with Coleslaw, or Fried Chicken Sandwiches. 

Don’t let the ingredient list scare you away from this Coleslaw Dressing Recipe. It goes together quickly, and can be made ahead of time.
