Notes
For coleslaw: For 6–8 cups of shredded cabbage and carrots, start with about ¾ cup of dressing. Toss well and add more dressing as needed.
Vinegar: White vinegar can be substituted for apple cider vinegar for a slightly sharper flavor.
Storage: Store leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 4–5 days. Stir well before using.
Make ahead: The dressing tastes even better after it has had some time to chill, so you can make it several hours before serving.
