Simple Slaw

Sometimes the best recipes come from the most unexpected places!  I discovered this recipe on the back of the Chef Buddy's Slaw Mix and thought I had saved it- and had accidently thrown the recipe away!  I couldn't remember the name of the brand and was so excited today when I found the bag with the recipe on it!    And although there are a million different recipes for cole slaw- this one is what I consider to be perfect- slightly sweet and creamy.  

Simple Southern Slaw
1 bag slaw mix (cabbage and carrots)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon mustard
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

In a medium bowl- whisk dressing ingredients together and toss with slaw mix to evenly coat.  Cover and chill before serving.

(PS- this is the closest thing I have found to the Shatley slaw recipe!)
