    One of my most favorite recipes. Always asked to bring a double batch to family dinners and bbq's. So easy.

    I'm not a big coleslaw fan, but I definitely did some overeating the day I made this. Wouldn't change a thing!

    I hate coleslaw, but love this! The dressing is great. I have used the dressing for tuna macaroni salad, too. I omitted the olives and used chunks of cheese. This is great for potluck and have very little leftover every time!
