This is Excellent!! I had questions and asked Merlot about it. She uses 2 bags of slaw mix, and stirs it occasionally while marinating. Also, when you first combine the dressing with the slaw mix it Does Not look like there’s enough dressing, but there is Plenty. It also sounds like a lot of salt, but it was just fine. I made ½ the recipe, (there's just 2 of us tonight) and forgot to halve the garlic powder, but it was not too much garlic for us. Thank-you Merlot for sharing this wonderful recipe!

Well, another winner Merlot! I made this tonight to go with our BBQ burgers, we just loved it..I was tired of all the creamy dressing coleslaw, and this just hit the spot...I however, only used 1 package of coleslaw, and cut the dressing recipe in half, and only used about 1/2 cup sugar, I also used green onions instead of regular onions.... and marinated it as stated on the counter for a couple of hours, I think that is the secret to this delicious coleslaw!...this is a keeper, I will definatley make this again, we sure enjoyed it...thanks for posting Merlot...great coleslaw recipe!...KC

This is excellent!!! Easy to make and a great make ahead dish. Marinating on the counter is the secret.

Merlot enjoyed your Marinated cole slaw and you were right it was very similar to my "cole slaw that lasts" except that you boil cider vinegar and add garlic powder which was very tasty. Both are great for outside picnics because they take the heat so well. This will be nice to change one off for the other at times and still feel safe leaving it out in the heat....It's a keeper..I love cole slaw! Thanks...

I saw this a while back and just got the canola oil yesterday. This is delicious. It is so much lighter than the mayo based cole slaw dressing I have been making for years. The only changes I made were using splenda in lieu of sugar and adding 3 teaspoons of celery seed. This mixes really well and comes together very quickly. Thanks, Merlot, for another great recipe.

I only did 1/2 the recipe because I knew the kids wouldn't eat it. This was very good. Nice change from traditional cole slaw. We used it on top of our hotdogs when camping and it was good. I will be making this again--a good recipe for potlucks. Thanks for posting your recipe.

This was good, and had a great taste to it. I was worried I had to much marinade so I used 3 bags of cole slaw and still had pleanty of liquid. I think next time I will most definitely cut down on the marinade only because of my personal preference I don't like my cole slaw too drenched. Thanks, everyone did enjoy this.

This is outstanding slaw!! It is so easy by using the pre-packaged slaw mix. Don't think I will ever go back to shredding cabbage again. You are right. There is plenty of liquid for marinade, even though it doesn't seem so at first. We ate on this for a week. Just go better everyday. Thanks Merlot.

This is fabulous. I used only one bag of shredded cabbage and cut the recipe in half. I also added 4 chopped green onions instead of the regular onions like another poster suggested. It is by far the very best cole slaw I have ever tasted.

I prepared a half recipe and it was delicious. So good, in fact, that I couldn't stop tasting it while it marinated! I've always made creamy coleslaw in the past, but I'll make this again and again! I forgot that even just a little red cabbage bleeds with this dressing over time - no change in taste, but it's not so pretty to look at pink slaw, so I'll check the mix more closely next time. Thanks so much for the recipe!
