Creamy Herbed Coleslaw with Grape Tomatoes

Rather than have my usual lettuce and spinach salad for lunch today, I decided to enjoy a nice big bowl of coleslaw. And since there’s a 2-pound package of grape tomatoes on my counter (my daughter pleaded with me to buy them, saying she’d have them for snacks, but that’s a lot of snacking) I decided to throw a few of them in too. The combination was a good one, though I have to advise you that I used way too much dressing for this amount of coleslaw. If you decide to make this, start with less dressing and add more to your taste. It turned out a little too rich for mine!
