Reviewed for Aussie Forum Recipe Swap August 09 THis is great coleslaw. I made the quantities as outlined in the recipe and this makes a huge party-sized bowl of yummy coleslaw. I wasn't sure about the celery salt and celery seeds....but they made a great addition. I used a gluten-free coleslaw to make this suitable to my gf diet and added in a squeeze of lemon juice. Totally loved it. Photos also being posted

I omitted the celery salt, seeds, salt and pepper. I added a little bit of sweet relish cause we wanted it more sweet. This is a great coleslaw. Thanks Barbry

This was a very colorful and healthy salad, although I did feel it was a bit heavy on the carrot. I made exactly as stated, and agree with Derf that the dressing was a bit of a disappointment. It may seem like a ton of mayo but it really wasn't too much for the amount of veggies. It did taste way too much like just mayo even after chilling for a couple of hours. If I can offer suggestions it would be to cut back on the mayo, add more vinegar, omit the celery salt, cut the celery seed by half, and add about 1/2 cup minced red onion or scallion (a mild tasting onion of any kind) to add a little depth and character, and a little bit of pepper to give a little bite. Otherwise I do understand how this could be a favorite just as is for many, since there are different schools of thought on cole slaw. But for those who follow the directions and still want more, I hope my suggestions are helpful. Thanks so much for posting. Made for Australia/NZ recipe swap. ~Sue

This is great coleslaw! I used only white cabbage and really enjoyed the carrots. The dressing was great - not sweet and I enjoyed the dijon flavor. Thanks for posting this recipe!
