We are also adding mayonnaise. This is the mayo that I prefer. It is made with only avocado oil, cage-free eggs, organic vinegar, organic mustard, and spices to add flavor and creaminess to your meals. You can get it online here: organic mayo.

You definitely need homemade coleslaw dressing with mustard for that subtle zing, so add the dijon mustard and the dried cranberries. These are the cranberries that I prefer. After a bit of searching they are the only ones I could find without added sugar. You should be able to get them online here: dried cranberries.

All of your homemade coleslaw recipe ingredients should be piled in your bowl.
