My favorite coleslaw dressing is quite easy to prepare, but doesn't come
with exact measurements.  Put some mayonaise into a bowl (how much depends
on how much slaw you've got.)  Add 3 - 6 spoons of sugar.  Start adding
cider vinegar.  Mix well after each addition and taste.  I like the 
dressing fairly tart, so I end up with a consistency close to drippy.  One
thing to be aware of is that as the coleslaw stands (in the refrigerator, I
hope) it becomes less tart, so you must add enough vinegar to go slightly
beyond perfection when you make it.

I have a friend who makes an excellent slaw dressing with an almost
identical recipe - she also includes some whipped cream in place of some
of the mayonaise.
