Cole Slaw Dressing (by SBC 06/1998)

This is my Grandmother's recipe for coleslaw dressing. This is a great dressing recipe and can be used with the already prepared cabbage/slaw mix!

1 cup sour cream
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 Tbsp. vinegar
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

Shred 2 cups of cabbage; grate 1 cup of carrots, Combine with dressing and mix well.

May also be doubled or tripled and also can use reduced fat sour cream without any major changes in taste! Enjoy!

Cole Slaw Dressing (by Pat/AR March 1999)

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/8 cup tarragon vinegar1/8 cup olive oil
1/2 (very scant) cup sugar
1 tsp salt

I use this for a small bag of precut slaw. Put slaw in dish. Pour over dressing. Allow to set for several hours stirring several times. At first it seems like there is not enough dressing but after the slaw weeps it forms more
dressing.
