Helen W on 2024-07-17 (5 stars): Wonderful! I used a little less sugar and a little more celery seed, and it's such a nice substitute for an ordinary salad to accompany fish or chicken. I'm sure everyone will tweak it to their liking. It's fun to read how others modify it.
JENNIFER PRISLINGER on 2024-03-31 (5 stars): This is the best coleslaw recipe I have tasted! I would typically add white vinegar but, I think it's the apple cider vinegar which makes this recipe so good. That is this only thing that is different between my original recipe and this recipe (besides me adding too much mayonnaise to begin with).
Halina Wanda Kowalski on 2024-03-04 (5 stars): HI,
Love this recipe and I added granny smith apples cut like matchsticks and less sugar, but delicious!
