Answer 4

So far no one has given you an easy recipe. They all tell you to shred your own head of cabbage. I buy a bag of cole slaw mix, then make my own dressing. Or you can buy a bottle of cole slaw dressing. Sold on the same asle where you buy salad dressing. They are very good and you dont have to do anything except pour it over the coleslaw mix a little while before serving.
