Addictively good! I backed off the sweetness some, and prefer to use honey with this instead of sugar and find that it adds another dimension of flavor on an already great recipe. I will note though, it’s one of those dishes that really should be eaten fresh. After the first day, the flavors start mellowing and absorbing into the veggies, loosing that tangy sweet magic that makes you want to eat a whole bowl of it.
Really great! I didn’t have green onion but did not miss it. I might add golden raisins next time. Thumbs up!
I made this exactly as directed and it was fabulous and fresh. I combined it with the prosciutto, sage wrapped pork loins… except my love asked to substitute basil for sage. All great and yummy
This is so sweet, it could be a recipe for a children’s party. I used only 1/3 of the sugar recommended here, and that did it for me. Particularly if you’re serving with pulled pork or other meat that is already accompanied by a – let’s face it, also sweet – BBQ sauce, you need far less sugar than given here.
Love this recipe.
I made this for Easter today. I wanted to get ahead so shredded cabbage (first salting and draining), shredded the carrot and chopped peppers and mixed it together the day before. I made the dressing but kept it separate. A couple hours before serving I sliced the apples and put in veggie mix and added the dressing. I then put it in the refrigerator til time to eat. All of the adults thought it was delicious. There was a-bit too much liquid which I needed to drain – perhaps from settling in the fridge. Enjoyed with tacos!
Excellent as written. Next batch I made added pecans, celery (to add to the crunch factor & to use up the celery on hand. Plus a tablespoon of dried mustard pow?der to counter the sweetness level. This just just my version. The original recipe is excellent. Next time maybe raisins?
Loved the bright flavors in this. The sweet, sour… Perfect for early Spring!!!
This was my first attempt at homemade cole slaw. This is one of the best slaws I’ve ever had. I doubled the dressing amounts for a more creamy slaw.
We LOVE this slaw recipe. Today when I made it, I had to use dark brown sugar, and since we like slaw a little tangier, in addition to the lemon I used 2 Tab. of apple cider vinegar, and we loved it plus it thinned the dressing some. Other additions were shelled salted sunflower seeds (2 Tab.) and fresh ground pepper. Far and away our favorite slaw recipe.
This is a great recipe for any gathering. My husband and I loved it. Lots of taste and texture.
Sooooo yummy! A perfect side to BBQ pork.
It’s a good jumping off point, but I found it to be a little bland. I added salt, pepper, and some apple cider vinegar and that was a big improvement. Next time I might add cilantro and jalapeno.
Awesome. Added the pecans and cranberries. Not necessary but good. Husband put minced jalapenos in his. If course. Little less sugar, too
Excellent Recipe….and it is easy to make. I had a Delicious & a Jonathon apple, so I used both of them instead of the granny smith. I only have green peppers from my garden to go with my garden cabbage so used those instead of the red peppers. I also used a whole onion instead of the green onions. Nudged the mayo, & lemon juice until it was perfect. Added a pinch of salt & pepper and a dash of garlic for medicinal purposes…..I will make this again…it is droolicious….
I like a Tsp apple cider vinegar for taste. and mix lemon juice with apples first to prevent browning. Celery instead on green onions. Great!
amazing recipe. I followed the directions exactly and am just amazed how good it is. Will make your again and again.
My family and I LOVE this recipe! I’m “one of those” cooks that applies alternations, so here goes! I add raisins, dried cranberries, celery and onion. Use both apple cider vinegar and lemon juice and add 1 tsp of salt, fresh ground pepper. I leave out the green peppers. It tastes like apple salad without nearly the heavy mayo and loads more veggie health.
Very nice flavor. The peppers and onions and apples together compilment each other
Great flavor. The flavor is better after the slaw sits overnight.
This fruity coleslaw turned out GREAT! I didn’t change anything except measurements because I made a lot of it. Go easy on the dressing and add more as you need it because the flavor stays throughout and then you won’t have it sitting in the extra dressing. This is definitely going into my Favorite Recipe book.
