My family loves this recipe. I also love reading all of the comments and will defintiely try the salt on the cabbage and soaking the apples in lemon water. The only thing I add is a generous sprinkling of celery sede to add dimension to the flavor. Thanks Aunt mamie for giving me a new recipe to add to the family favorites!

As far as cole slaw goes, this is a pretty traditional slaw, minus the brown sugar. I left it out because I don't like sweet slaws. I followed the directions, other than that. Enjoyed the addition of apple and red bell. Will make again.

This was my first time making coleslaw and it was very good! I used a little less sugar and added some corn--so good!

Never liked Cole slaw until I tried this recipe. Taste fabulous. Only thing I changed was to add a little more lemon in the dressing and I had some parsnip left over that I added.

I almost always stick to the exact recipe the first time I try it. The only time I do not is if there is an ingredient I do not care for. When I decided to make this, I did not realize I was out of some key ingredients. I made it anyway making adjustments. I used a coleslaw mix and omitted the carrot. I did not have any bell peppers, green onions, granny smith apples, or mayo. So...I chopped two tablespoons of yellow onion, used a stalk of celery, and two Braeburn apples. Instead of mayo, I used Miracle Whip Light. The results were pretty good. I believe when I make this again following the actual recipe, I will be in love with it.

Good simple recipe, I think I will try with less cabbage (1/2 as much) and more apple (1.5-2 times as much) next time. The dressing seemed perfect.

My family loves this recipe. It is fantastic exactly as directed. However I usually make it with homemade mayonnaise and raw honey instead of the brown sugar. You can also substitute unflavored greek yogurt for the mayo and that is very good as well. Goes perfectly with BBQ dishes like pulled pork. Definitely a five star recipe and so easy!

I am SO surprised! I got a head of cabbage in my CSA box and didn't know what to do with it. I've never liked cole slaw, ever. EVER. But, I didn't want to waste it so I bit the bullet and picked a high-rated recipe, sure that I would end up throwing it out after tasting it. I almost gave up when I was chopping the cabbage because it sure did smell nasty. Anyway after I had put everything together, and tasted it, I could NOT believe it. I actually enjoyed it! Thank you for this recipe to help this first-time cabbage-try-er actually enjoy cabbage! By the way, I followed some of the reviews and used lemon juice on the apples, added pecans & dried cranberries, and a little apple cider vinegar.
