- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh or dried dill
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener

Salad Ingredient

Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: In a mixing bowl or your serving dish, combine mayonnaise, mustard, pickle juice, diced pickles, dill, garlic powder, sugar or sweetener, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
- Mix with Coleslaw: Add the shredded coleslaw mix to the dressing. Stir thoroughly to ensure the dressing coats all the vegetables evenly. Taste the coleslaw and adjust the flavors by adding more pickle juice or dill if you prefer a stronger pickle flavor.

- Chilling the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes improves flavor melding but is optional.
- This coleslaw is best served fresh, within 1-2 days for optimal texture and flavor.
- For a lower fat version, you can substitute regular mayonnaise with light mayo or Greek yogurt.
