Creamy Cole Slaw

I love Cole Slaw but I don't always make it. KFC and Cracker Barrel make outstanding Cole Slaw and I'm not above grabbing that if I am in a pinch for time. Making it is really easy though and fresh is always good. Not only is Cole Slaw a great side dish; it is amazing on hamburgers and hot dogs.
NEED:

3/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/3 cup oil
1/8 teaspoon onion powder *
1/8 teaspoon dry mustard *
1/8 teaspoon celery salt *
1 dash black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large head cabbage, finely shredded

* these three spices are optional and should be used according to your tastes.

Blend mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar and oil. Add onion powder, dry mustard, celery salt, pepper, lemon juice, half-and-half and salt. Stir until smooth. Pour coleslaw dressing over shredded cabbage in a large bowl and toss until cabbage is well coated. For best flavor, chill before serving.

For added sweetness and crunch add some chopped sweet apple, such as McIntosh. Dice into small pieces and stir in.

Enjoy!
