This recipe is from Junior's restaurant in Brooklyn, NY cookbook. I used 1 bag of preshredded coleslaw mix, 1 cup of mayonnaise but the same amount of vinegar, sugar, garlic, salt and pepper. This coleslaw was so good and creamy, we love garlic. It is best to make this the day before to give it time to get nice and creamy. Cook time of 24 hours is the marinating time.
