Between tagging this recipe - I was drawn to the inclusion of apples - in Zaar Stars Tag and making it, dim memories started surfacing of a coleslaw with apples that I used to make several decades ago. Recipe long since lost! Enthusiasm for making this recipe grew! I'm sure my ancient recipe did not have the delicious dressing that Dreamer's recipe has: great blend of flavours. Just loved the dill and lemon flavouring. I made my coleslaw with Savoy cabbage, a couple of baby carrots (which have a great natural sweetness), 1/2 red pepper (I find them more flavoursome than green peppers) and a Fuji apple (love them). My coleslaw would have been slightly higher in fat because I used Greek yoghurt (the only yoghurt for me) but I did use light mayonnaise. Never knew coleslaw could be SO delicious. I made this out of season - it's winter here right now - and loved it, so come summer, I'll be making this a lot as a really healthy (even with my decadent Greek yoghurt) take-to-work-lunch. Thanks so much, Dreamer in Ontario, for sharing this wonderful recipe.

Delicious slaw! I did the fine shred - love coleslaw with carrots, green pepper, green onions and apple. Used fresh dill and like I do to most dressings - a touch of sugar. ( a personal preferance) Great slaw, have added it to my coleslaw collection.

Busy days and finding that lunch is a frazzled rush with just a sandwich. Realizing that left me short on veggies I stumbled on this tasty dish and decided it would be a great solution. Decided to adapt it to the WW Core program using non-fat mayo and yogurt and it worked great. The salad was popping with flavor and much to my surprise the dill and apple worked well together. Like the other reviewers, I felt it needed a wee bit of sweetness and added a teaspoon of Splenda. Next time I think I will make a little extra dressing as the slaw was a bit dry for me, but this was minor and a matter of taste. Thanks for posting! Made for *Potluck Tag*.

I doubled the recipe. I omitted the green pepper. And I forgot to add the apple. I used dried dill and I added a big tablespoon of zucchini relish to have a little bit of sweet. It's delicious. Thanks Dreamer Made for Market tag.

I thought this was great! I usually don't put apple in my coleslaw/waldorf salad anymore so the bits of sweetness from the apple was a welcomed change. The dressing fit great, and would have been even better if I had some fresh dill instead of dried. Thanks! Reviewed during ZWT 4.

This is very good. The dressing was just right for us without the dill and no added sugar. Liked the crunchiness and sweet of the apple. Kind of a cross between waldorf and coleslaw! Was great with the baby-back ribs we had.

Loved it. I added extra apple, used lemon pepper in place of the regular pepper, and added some sesame seeds. Instead of the dill, I used fresh chives. Fabulous side dish. Made for Veg*n Swap 3.
