Summer Cole Slaw Dressing
I love this slaw, I make an entire recipe and a double batch of the dressing every time (I like the dressing on regular salad too). There is just enough creaminess from the sour cream to keep it from being a vinaigrette, with the perfect tang from the vinegar and warm nuttiness from the sesame oil. It is a home run!!!
