Easy Coleslaw Recipe
Description
The coleslaw dressing balances the richness of mayonnaise with sweetness from sugar and acidity from lemon juice and vinegar. Black pepper and salt provide seasoning, making the dressing flavorfully mild but bright. The raw coleslaw mix, typically a combination of shredded cabbage and carrots, offers a crisp and refreshing texture that contrasts with the creamy dressing.
This coleslaw is mixed just before chilling to fully coat the vegetables, and chilling enhances flavor melding and keeps the salad crisp. It's a straightforward recipe that yields a cool, creamy side dish with a balanced sweetness and tang, commonly served alongside barbecues, sandwiches, or as part of casual meals.

- 2 tbsp sugar

Instructions
