YOGURT COLESLAW DRESSING



Yogurt Coleslaw Dressing image

This is really one of those half-made, home-made kind of recipes. I find that the bottled coleslaw dressing is usually a bit overpowering, and don't always want a mayo based dressing. You start with bottled dressing for this, and it ends up being nice & light tasting. The cooking time is actually the chilling time for the dressed coleslaw.
