Mr. Adam Wilcox
So good! Added tri-color rotini, otherwise made as directed. Will definitely make again.

We loved it! Added diced cucumber, no green pepper. Had mini red, yellow & orange peppers. Had red wine vinegar, not white on hand and it was just as colorful and yummy! Love the tangy dressing!Will do again for sure!
Casey Thomas
This was delicious. Basically a slaw with a little protein, and we enjoyed it as a light summer entree instead of a side. I replaced all the veggies with 4 cups bagged coleslaw mix and 4 cups broccoli slaw mix, which made prep a breeze!

This is a real winner — nearly all guests came back for seconds. I was serving 12, so I added a bit more of the cabbages along with a pound of peeled/deveined shrimp cut in 1/2 (30-40 size). I also added sliced green onion, finely diced celery, a diced avocado, and — this was key — a couple tablespoons of fresh tarragon. I made the dressing called for in the 8-servings recipe, but even with the added cabbage, veggies and shrimp, I only used 2/3 of the dressing and it was perfect. I saved the other third to whip it up again later in the week for a lunch for 4.

I made this with a bag of broccoli slaw, letting it ‘marinade’ for a few hours before digging in. Simple and tasty. Hit the spot!
Jody Baker
I’ve made this 100+ times! I use brown sugar instead of white and I use red wine vinegar instead of white wine vinegar. I also make it without the crab meat. It’s delicious!
Kyle Hicks
This wasn’t what I was looking for, but it was very tasty. I stevia in leiu of sugar, but followed the recipe otherwise. Very bright salad, nice alternative to coleslaw. I would make again. Note this is a huge batch… potluck sized. So it’s a good thing I like it, will be eating it for a few days.
James Russell
Pretty dam good salad. But I just want to precise that the recipe gave me 6 protions of 320 kcal each. So careful if you are keeping track of your calorie.
Jeffrey Ramos
This is what I call a dangerous salad. I ate the whole thing myself. Absolutely delicious, plan to make it for summer potlucks and parties moving forward.
Joseph Fletcher
Very good, I subbed fresh peas out of the garden since I didn’t have any broccoli and it was delicious !
Maxwell Bennett
I didn’t have the broccoli so I put in green onions and used sweet peppers. It’s delicious!

Phillip Ramsey
absolutely, unequivocally delicious. My wife and I loved it. Going in my favorites category. No doctoring this recipe up.
Kevin Singh
This is hands down the best seafood salad I have ever had.. This is definitely a keeper!!
Justin Colon
This is a great recipe that everyone loved. After reading other reviews I modified very slightly with additions: I added 2 stalks of celery, some green onions, and one carrot. The flavor was outstanding and today I will be making this again as there was none left from last nights dinner. I will add some baby shrimp as well tonight.
Matthew Liu
I love the versatility of this recipe! I think you could make it with almost any seafood and any combination of veggies. The dressing is the key yummy factor! I’ve made it with baby shrimp and with a big can of pink salmon, and both were tasty. I also throw in whatever else I find in the fridge — green onions, shredded carrots, frozen peas, frozen corn — and I suspect that chopped boiled egg or even diced apple would be good additions. I also add whole grain rotini to convert it to a stand-alone lunch, and I gotta tell you, I can eat this stuff for days on end without getting tired of it. I definitely know what I’m taking to my next potluck! THANK YOU, Wilma!
Ashley Collins
Awesome and easy.
Carrie Reed
I’ve been making this salad for years, but recently I have begun subbing 3/4 c fat free sour cream for some of the mayo and increasing the amount of hot sauce. Sometimes I add some old bay or cajun seasoning to change up the flavor.
Keith Moore
The Boy and I made this tonight. Just a few slight changes. It was just red cabbage with carrots, yellow pepper and zucchini. We added a bit more pepper and hot sauce to the sauce. We used shrimp instead of crab and I must say, we both really liked it. If you like a spicier sauce, add more hot sauce or pepper. We also used lime juice. I would make this again.
Kelly Higgins
I love this recipe. My husband and I do not like mayonnaise, so I substitute it with plain 0% fat free Greek Yogurt, eliminate the soy sauce and add a good balsamic vinegar instead with a good creole mustard and add 4 garlic cloves and add 2 pounds of small boiled shrimp. We live in south Louisiana where fresh crab meat is always available so I use it instead of the imitation. Nothing better than the real thing. Great recipe, thanks for Allrecipes for this one. I love your app.
Adrian Mendez
I had cabbage that needed using up and after reading the positive reviews I gave this a try. This recipe is super easy to prepare and you don’t need to change a thing if you don’t want to. The dressing is incredible. I did add grated carrot and skipped the green pepper but only because I was out of it. I balanced it out by adding a bit more red pepper which I sliced extra thin. Thanks for this amazing 5 star recipe!
