Creamy Coleslaw

We love coleslaw, or rather I like it and my husband LOVES it. Like, he could eat a whole bowl for dinner in one sitting--the serving bowl that is. We've tried a lot of different recipes, and I've tweaked almost all of them, combined several and come up with this one that works for us. I like it because it is a lot lighter than many creamy varieties, which is important when one person is going to eat large quantities.

Creamy Coleslaw

Dressing:
1/2 c. plain yogurt (I like organic, whole-milk varieties, but fat-free works too)
1/4 c. miracle whip or mayonnaise
1/4 c. granulated sugar
1/8 c. white vinegar
dash of powdered onion
dash of black pepper, to taste

Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl until smooth. Pour 1/2 of the dressing over 1lb. bag of packaged coleslaw mix plus carrots and celery if desired. Mix together and let sit (refrigerated) for at least 20 minutes. If coleslaw is too dry after sitting, add a bit more of the dressing, to taste. Remaining dressing will keep chilled for about 1 week.
