Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup good quality mayonnaise - I recommend Hellman's
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 16 ounces shredded coleslaw mix
  • ¼ cup sliced green onion
  • 1¼ cup dried cranberries - I like these dried cranberries
  • ¼ cup roasted salted sunflower kernels - or substitute roasted, salted sliced or slivered almonds

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add coleslaw mix and green onion to a large bowl, then pour dressing over the top. Fold to combine. Refrigerate up to 2 hours prior to serving.
  3. Before serving, fold in cranberries and sunflower kernels. Sprinkle a bit more of these, plus some sliced green onion, over the top, if desired.

Notes

  • You can also just mix this in one bowl. In a large bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients. Then add the coleslaw and fold to combine.
  • Adapted just slightly from a recipe Mom makes, originally shared by my aunt Joan Renelt
