A terrific spin on coleslaw! I really liked the dressing & the sunflower seeds in this salad. I chopped the cabbage by hand and grated 1 carrot. I liked that the dressing didn't get "runny" during the chill time. A recipe I will use again. Thanks kdp!!!

I really liked the nutty flavor that the sunflower seeds added, and I thought the balsamic vinegar contributed to the uniqueness of this slaw as well. Thank you for suggesting coleslaw blend - it makes it so much easier, and putting the rest of the ingredients together took no time at all. I used Splenda instead of sugar.

i used a 1 lb package of broccoli slaw mix and doubled the dressing ingredients, except for the tarragon, because we like our slaw very creamy and wet. Did not change anything else. It was delicious and this recipe is a keeper especially for summer bbqs.

Fabulous coleslaw, and this is from someone who does NOT like coleslaw. My dh and friends do, so I was making this for a potluck, I was stunned at how good it was, and how fresh-tasting it was, too. I substituted lowfat sour cream and mayo, but other than that, made it exactly as written. The tarragon adding a very subtle, sophisticated flavor, and the crunch & salt of the sunflower seeds was perfect for texture. I would consider using different toasted nuts (hmmm, pine nuts or walnuts, maybe), and for those who are averse to tarragon, maybe consider chipotle or wasabi gourmet mayo with fresh cilantro (for the chipotle) or parsley (for wasabi)? I would think you could tinker around with it if you like (maybe using broccoli coleslaw or other gourmet coleslaw mixes?), but it's really, really, really fabulous as is.
