"If you love creamy southern-style coleslaw, give this dressing with an Asian-style twist a try. Leftover dressing can be kept refrigerated for up to a week offering you a great last-minute option for creating a fresh tasting side dish for your dinner menus throughout the week. Napa cabbage is also a great substitute for packaged coleslaw mix."

What a great base recipe from which to create your own unique dressing. I added organic sweet chili sauce instead of the half and half and it was fabulous. Even my DD loved it!!! My husband had 3 GIANT "tastes" before it even hit the table if that gives you any indication of the YUM FACTOR! Mmmmm!
