Excellent Sweet Coleslaw

This is the BEST basic coleslaw recipe!  Its very easy to make and is always a huge hit.  I found this recipe on allrecipes.

Ingredients:

-16 oz. bag coleslaw mix {or the equivalent in thinly sliced cabbage and carrots}

- 2 tbsp diced onion {we like red onion and I usually add more than 2 tbsp}

-2/3 cups miracle whip

-3 tbsp vegetable oil 

-1/2 cup sugar

-1 tbsp vinegar

-1/4 tsp salt

-1/2 tsp poppy seeds

Process:

1. Combine coleslaw mix and onion in a large bowl.

2. Mix together miracle whip, oil, sugar, vinegar, salt and poppy seeds.

 3. Pour dressing over cabbage mixture, toss well to coat.

4. Cover and chill at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes:
*Sometimes I will just put everything in a bowl together and mix it all at once.
*Its also easy to mix the dressing ingredients in the large bowl then add the onion and coleslaw.
*I don't always allow 2 hours for chilling and its still great!

Enjoy!
