I made this today for BBQ sandwiches. I liked it quite a bit and my friend liked it even more.
Tracy Brown
Excellent. Didn’t have apple cider vinegar so used balsamic vinegar. Did use as much brown sugar. Sort of just guessed at amounts of the ingredients because I was only making a small bowl.
Melissa Hampton
It was awesome ! All I did was add shredded carrot…Love the dressing……it’s a keeper…..

I made this a few days ago. Followed the recipe exactly except I used more coleslaw mix. I had bought bagged mix and, according to the package, the bag contained 6-3/4 c. mix. The recipe only calls for 4 c. which I think is not enough. I added the entire bag and mixed thoroughly. The dressing is soupy so ended up as a puddle in the bottom of the bowl. The dressing is also too tart for my tastes. About half the coleslaw is now gone so I added another bag to the bowl since there is still so much dressing in the bottom of the container. Once this is all gone, I won’t be making this recipe again. Although it’s very easy to make, it would take too much tweaking to satisfy my taste. There are plenty of other recipes out there.

My husband loved it, just like my mom made it.

Tastes traditional, but with a little tang from the vinegar. Very tasty! Will be my go-to now, especially with grilled seafood.
Rhonda Johnson
Very tasty without being heavy. Many coleslaws drown in mayo – not this one, it’s light and flavorful. I only had white vinegar and it came out fine.
Barbara Martin
What a fabulously simple recipe to pair with some root beer pulled pork tacos! Loved that I had all the ingredients on hand, and that it took seconds to pull together. Thanks!

I used pre-cut broccoli slaw (2 bags) and this came out great. I also added about 1/4 cup sour cream to make this a little more creamy. Ate on top of pulled pork sandwiches, YUM

try rice wine vinegar
James Williams
Delicious! Easy, quick, and flavorful. We added some chopped celery (instead of the celery seed) and a little choppped bell pepper and shredded carrot for some added flavor and color.
Vanessa Russell
Made this exactly as shown and it was delicious with pulled pork sandwiches, wouldn’t change anything!
Shawn Williams
Love this! It goes with me to many picnics & dinners. It always gets rave reviews.

I needed to make cole slaw with ingredients that I had at home so I went with this one. I did cut down on the sugar and vinegar then used reduced fat mayo. Also, threw in some shaved carrots. Still a little “vinegary” tasting but really liked it. Next time, will add just a little less vinegar and think it will be perfect. I’ll keep at it. Served it over Kalua pork.

I have made this several times and it is always a big hit. You can modify easily to satisfy the palate for more tart tastes or sweeter. I reduce the vinegar to 1/4 cup as well as the brown sugar and leave the mayo as is. One hint: Don’t use lite mayo. It is OK, but with real Hellman’s, it’s the real deal! Every bit as good as your favorite in a restaurant. We love it on a sandwich with pulled/BBQ pork.

I was out of white vinegar so I came on AR to find a recipe with Apple Cider Vinegar. This recipe was so close to the way I make it, I thought it’d be perfect. I use white vinegar and white sugar, minus the celery seed. Maybe I’m too used to my family recipe. This was just ok. Way to “wet” for our tastes.
Jason Walsh
Finally a cole slaw recipe w/celery seed. A must have. Apple cider vinegar a winner and brown sugar for a smoother taste. Sweet tart w/celery seed. Yay Jayme.
Tracey Robinson
I have made one adjustment and people rave…I leave the mayo out. Otherwise, everything is per the recipe! Great for summer!
Amy Reed
Very good and easy to make with simple ingredients. I didn’t have mayo, so I used lowfat vanilla yogurt. Came out fine with less fat and calories! I also, used regular vinegar. Tasted good! I liked that it wasn’t a long list of ingredients. I did make in the morning and let it chill until dinner time.
Christine Williams
The dressing for this coleslaw is REALLY good – love the celery seed in it. I put a variety of vegetables in it (cabbage, carrots, radishes – whatever’s around) and the dressing makes it delicious. I may try it with broccoli and cauliflower pieces! Thanks!
Kevin Glover
I don’t normally make traditional cole slaw (I usually make it Asian style), but this is a really good standard recipe. I made Po’ Boys for lunch and wanted an easy slaw to top them. I added some carrots to mine and only made 1/4 the recipe since I only wanted enough to top two sandwiches. It turned out great and I’d probably use this recipe again if I ever need to make quick slaw.
