Graduation Coleslaw

This coleslaw was aptly named after it was served at many a graduation party, several years running.  Like buckets of this coleslaw.  This is my favorite coleslaw around, and a lot of people agree.  You may even convert a few haters to come over from the dark side!

The best part of this is you can adjust all of the seasonings to your taste-want it creamier?  Add a little more mayo!  Like it a little sweeter?  Add a little more brown sugar!  Like a bit more of a vinegary punch?  Add a little more Dijon or vinegar!  Want it spicy (like I do)?  Add more cayenne!  Be careful with those celery seeds though.  They are very strong and a little bitter so start off adding a little, taste, and add more if you want.  I strongly feel that they are an essential part of coleslaw, but you can absolutely omit if you despise them.

My one piece of advice: you will absolutely, 100% think you do not have enough dressing for your coleslaw when you mix it all together.  Do not be tempted to significantly increase the proportions of the dressing or you will have a bowl of dressing with a few of vegetables swimming around in it.  The cabbage will wilt as it sits and give off quite a bit of juice, which will water down the dressing, thus increasing your overall dressing volume, thus making the perfect amount.  AND the perfect coleslaw.

You should definitely plan to make this with Spicy Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork because it is the perfect pair.  OBVI.

Then you can make sandwiches that look at delicious as these ones.
