Creamy Coleslaw

This wonderful coleslaw recipe is a simple combination of cabbage, shredded carrots and thinly sliced green pepper in a zesty, creamy dressing. The recipe goes together quickly and gets refrigerated for a few hours to blend the flavors before dinner. Blessings...

Note: I used thinly sliced celery in place of the green pepper, also, I made 1/4 of the recipe for two of us which yielded 1 cup of coleslaw. This is how I came up with the yield and calorie count.
