I would love to make 2 of your coleslaw recipes but they include an ingredient unknow to me, can you please tell me what a slaw mix is? Is it something you make or buy? I looked it up in more than one supermarket and didn’t find it.
Thanks in advance for your attention to my request.
Hi Dinorah,
Slaw mix is simply pre-shredded cabbage and carrots. It’s just convenient. You can shred your own cabbage and carrot if the bag mix is not available. I hope you enjoy the coleslaw recipes.

I don’t understand your ingredients…
2 Tablespoons cup sour cream???
Is it 2 Tablespoons or 2 cups??
Hi Rose,
Sorry about that! I have corrected the recipe card, it is 2 tablespoons of sour cream. Thanks for letting me know about the mistake. I hope you get the chance to try it.
