And ... if salt is an issue in your diet you can cut the coleslaw's sodium content by using half prepared mayonnaise and half sour cream.

I also use the "Dole" pre shredded cabbage slaw with carrots, etc. whereas my mom and mother in law would chop their own heads of cabbage.
Since it's just the two of us now, I make smaller portions.
I also use the jarred Marzetti's or Marie's cole slaw dressing; less is more. It's found in the refrigerated section over the bagged shredded cabbage and salad stuff.
I prefer Marie's but they do not always have it.
Or one could mix mayo, sour cream and horseradish as a dressing.....
thinned out with pickle juice or vinegar.
What I've been looking for is a simple apple cider vinegar dressing with NO mayo for cole slaw.
Many restaurants in Maine do not add mayo to their cole slaw which is always served as a side dish with their great battered and deep fried fish.
In ending, here is a recipe exactly like the one my mother in law used to make for stuffed celery.......the grandkids love it and this is pretty exact.
Nice while large heads of celery are available at farmer's markets.
