I read this recipe from a book I have and decided I wanted to try it. Then today I was looking at reviews and got a little worried about so much negative feedback…. Glad I decided to try it anyway, it’s delicious! The online recipe calls for 8oz of cabbage though and I used 14 like my book says. Also, 3 apples could be cut down to a little over one and if you buy the coleslaw mix it already has green onions in it so that’s not necessary either.

Wanted to make this for a pot luck luncheon and thank goodness I prepared it for my family first. It was terrible. Don’t know whether or not it had been tested; but had it – the salad would never have made it to print. 3 TBS of Vinegar seems like way too much and so does 3 apples I did adjust it some w/only 2 apples; but still the sour taste. Thumbs down

I made this just today, and my family loved it. However, I do think there are some problems with the orginial recipe, which is why I just adjusted it without even trying it first as it was written.

The major key, I think, is using a larger serving of colesaw mix (the cabbage and carrot). I used a 14 oz bag instead of an 8 oz. I kept the measurements for everything else the same.

I *did* use only two green apples, instead of three. I tried one, had my family take a bite and figured out it wasn’t “applely” enough. So I cut up another. Three, I think, would have been way too much even with the added coleslaw mix.

I also substituted Splenda for the sugar (same measurement, though), and I used OIkos greek yogurt (fat free) instead of the sour cream. Plus, I added a bit of garlic powder to it.

Also, be careful with the ranch mix and the vinegar. Use level level LEVEL amounts of the ranch – do not using heaping tablespoons, and measure out the vinegar over the sink or another bowl so you don’t get extra into the sauce you’re making. If you use *just* the 2 tbs for the ranch and just 3 tbs for the vinegar with the 14 oz package, it turns out perfectly – every bit is coated, but there’s no heavy excess that the coleslaw is forced to sit in.

How could you mess up slaw? Well…Sandra definitely did with this one. The vinegar is very overpowering and it’s not a smart or tasty combination with the sour cream. This recipe was obviously created after her daily, probably hourly, “cocktail time!”

Cole slaw by nature will tend to get a bit soggy after time, so I made this recipe just an hour before serving it. I also used a 16 oz. package of cabbage. The dressing tasted great and it didn’t get to sloppy! Also, I cut up the apples moments before serving the cole slaw so they didn’t turn brown. My family loved this dish for our 4th of July celebration! I would make it again!

Th edressing was just awful tasting with the apples. Plus it separated and got all watery and gross.
Rodney Marshall
Watery and peculiar tasting. It was really quite dreadful.
Diana Rodriguez
Very fast, tangy, and was definately a hit with everyone.
Jason Santiago
it was a nice change to the standard cole slaw.
Scott Richmond
Great change from regular cole slaw or lettuce salad. I am going to add red, seedless grapes to mine next time and see how that works.
