3. WHISK together DRESSING ingredients until smooth, creamy and opalescent, using a wire whisk.

Great, fast & easy! I did use the packaged shredded slaw mix to save time. This is the REAL THING!

I don't even like KFC coleslaw anymore, since it is not the same, and hasn't been good for a while now. Me and my dear hubby loved this! Mr. DH gives this his seal of approval, he's a tough cookie to please. i love the flavors of the coriander and the pineapple juice.
