Favorite Coleslaw

I really need to come up with a catchier title for this recipe.I got it from Allrecipes and it was called so-and-so's Favorite Coleslaw. I changed it up a bit and dropped the random name...maybe I should just add my name. Or my mom's, as it IS her favorite. I love the crunchiness of this one with the almonds and apples and everything - goes great with any kind of BBQ! Even great on a BBQ pork or beef sandwich.

FAVORITE COLESLAW

1 bag shredded carrots
1 16 oz bags coleslaw mix
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1-1/2 cups dried cranberries
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1 cup diced apple
Dressing:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 Tbsp sweet pickle relish
1 Tbsp honey mustard
1 Tbsp honey
Salt & pepper

Combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk together all dressing ingredients, adding salt & pepper to taste and refrigerate until ready to serve. Pour dressing over slaw just before serving, mix well. **Can also increase dressing amount 1-1/2 times or thin with a bit of milk as desired, just depends on how "wet" you like your coleslaw.
