1 14-ounce package coleslaw mix
¾ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon black pepper

Notes

How To Store:

Since this recipe is made with mayonnaise, it needs to be stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container.

When serving, make sure it's not left out for more than 2 hours at room temperature. If you are going to serve it outside, here's a great tip - fill a large bowl with ice then place the bowl of coleslaw on top to keep it cool.

Tips:

Use good quality mayonnaise. The flavor of the mayonnaise will make a big difference in the overall taste of the coleslaw.

Don't over-mix the coleslaw. Over-mixing will make the cabbage mushy.

Add a little bit of grated carrot and purple cabbage to the coleslaw for added color and sweetness.

If you want a spicier coleslaw, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dressing.
