Instead of spending time shredding tons of cabbage and carrots why not try this easy to make Classic Semi Homemade Coleslaw first? This creamy coleslaw is super easy to make and compliments any savory main dish. Perfect for barbecues and potlucks. I love adding this sweet salad on top of pulled pork sandwiches. It also makes the perfect side dish to a big juicy burger.

This Classic Semi Homemade Coleslaw is a big salad and can feed up to 12 people. Growing up our coleslaw was always sweet with no vinegar. My family likes their coleslaw simple…cabbage, mayo, sugar, raisins. How does your family like their coleslaw?
