Simple Creamy Cole Slaw Just Like Mama Maria Makes

"I have tried many coleslaw recipes in my day and they are never quite "right". Whenever I need coleslaw for a side I buy it from our favorite Italian carryout restaurant. I have been know to just go in an request a pint or 2 of coleslaw to top off my yummy Recipe #280271 sammies. One day, the owner told me what he used. VOILA, I duplicated it! No salt, pepper, pickles,vinegar, etc. needed. I know it sounds impossible, but hey, this is the way I like it! It will acquire a tang as it sits resting in the fridge. It's even better the next day. Every now and then I add crumbled blue cheese to it. Very tasty but don't top my pulled pork sammies with the blue cheese slaw. That would be rather funky!"
