coleslaw dressing

Creamy slaw sauce

Coleslaw dressing is the sauce that binds shredded cabbage into coleslaw.

The classic American version is mayonnaise-based, often sweetened and sharpened with vinegar.

Vinaigrette-style dressings offer a lighter alternative: I prefer my coleslaw with a tangy vinegar dressing rather than the creamy kind.
