This has to be one of the most flavorful coleslaws I have ever made. The flavors blend wonderfully. The addition of olives is a welcome surprise in the flavor. The best part is make ahead. Most slaws I have to wait till time to serve to add the dressing. This gets better overnite, so it is great to make ahead and out the door. Or it is one more dish you can get done the day before company coming, which is what I love. But irregardless of all those perks, it is a dish that I would make even if it was a little bit of a pain. Hope you enjoy it.

I cut recipe in half and used a 16 oz. bag of slaw I had on hand. Slaw didn't sit overnight as needed for tonight's meal. No stuffed olives, but bought some today in anticipation of my next batch. Didn't have white wine vinegar so used red wine vinegar. Thought the flavor excellent. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

This is really a wonderful way to prepare cole slaw. I have prepared it several times for company on special occasions, and I always receive compliments. I use a little yellow bell to add even more color. Just a note to say that I personally prefer fresh ingredients and do not find that the packaged slaw to be as flavorful. However, if you are pinched for time, I am sure that using the packaged products is a great alternative. I love the addition of olives, but rarely am able to do so because only my DH & I care for them. Maybe one day I will cut the ingredients and make it for just DH and me and include the olives. Great recipe, Baby Chevelle! Thanks for sharing!

A 5-star rating for a cole slaw? You bet! The recipe turned out exactly like I imagined, and it is a slaw that is much more impressive than the mayo-laden version that you get at the grocery. We loved the sweet-tart viniagrette dressing and the addition of green olives. I'll be making this plenty over the summer, as a great side dish for any BBQ dish. Hint for the next time - cut the recipe in HALF and use one bag of ready-shredded cole slaw mix instead of the head of cabbage.

i just had this at a funeral and i went asking the ladies at the church for the recipe. one especially nice lady tracked it down for me and i thought i'd post it here, but it's already been posted. this is the exact recipe i have and it comes from Taste of Homes prize winning recipes and credits Ruth Lovett of Bay City, TX for coming up with it. I've got a batch in the fridge right now and i'm just itching to get into it. it's so good adn i'll just say that i've never asked a total stranger for a recipe like this but i HAD to have it!
