Simple how to guide for making delicious coleslaw.

THIS RECIPE IS CREATED PER 33 SERVINGS USING 1-5 LB BAG OF CABBAGE COLESLAW MIX.

PER 5 LB BAG CABBAGE/CARROT COLESLAW MIXTURE
PREPARE SLAW:
Whisk 2 3/4 cups mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 Tbsp mustard (dry or prepared), 1 tsp pepper, 1/4 cup cider vinegar, and 1 carton milk until well combined. Toss with coleslaw mix (green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots). Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Mix lightly before serving.

SERVE: 2/3 cup (#6 scoop) lightly packed (~3.2 oz wt). Serve on tray or salad bar.
