This is a very tasty slaw but you really need to like bleu cheese to enjoy it. I followed the recipe as written but went a little heavy on the cheese since I really like it. I don't think the sour cream adds much to the flavor, in fact I think it reduces the tang of the bleu cheese. Next time I will cut back or eliminate that ingredient.

Followed the directions with the exception of the onion. I let this sit overnight to gain the full flavor. Excellent!

This was awesome. I decreased the amount of the vinegar mixture and added extra blue cheese and some seasonings. Other than that, I followed the instructions and it was a total hit; twice!! Will make again and again.

Used way less vinegar and sour cream, added lemon juice and green onion. Suppose you could say that I combined recipes from this site... :) LOVED IT!!!!, will definitely make again. Honestly, the best "doctored" cole slaw I've ever eaten.

I love bleu cheese, but this wasn't a crowd pleaser for us. I would consider using it as a slaw on a burger, but not again as a salad.

This was pretty tasty, but i was hoping for something more similar to the slaw served at J.Alexanders. This is good base, but I will keep trying!UPDATE: I think it would make a difference if you use a highquality blue cheese... all my store had was Treasure Cave, which is mild. Also, next day my cole slaw was not at all runny, I think the key is really draining it well of the cider mixture.

Oh my lord this was amazing. And a surprise to the palate of our guests. Expecting a normal coleslaw and hit with the blue cheese! Fantastic. Tip: If you don't like your coleslaw runny (it's pretty runny) add more coleslaw mix. For us it was perfect!

I had my heart set on a good blue cheese cole slaw like a nearby restaurant serves. This hit the spot - sort of. It's not as creamy as I like and I think there's too much vinegar. Tasted good the first night, but after a night in the fridge it was swimming in an inch of dressing at the bottom of the bowl.

This recipe was the hit of the party I took it to. I tripled the recipe, and the only thing I would do differently is make the mix on the side and add it sparingly. I had too much of the liquid and had to keep pouring it out as the coleslaw got eaten. This a a great one!

This is was a great jumping off point for me. I would have never thought to use bleu cheese. However, since you got my creative juices flowing I added 2 chopped apples with skin on, 1 cup crushed walnuts and 1 3/4 cup plump craisins and fresh cracked pepper. It was yummy! It was a huge hit at a recent pot luck and everyone was asking for the recipe. Definitely make it again!

Really good. The only thing I did differently was to use regular onions. It definitely benefits from sitting in the fridge overnight. Thanks!

This is delicious. It is way too much dressing for 16oz of cabbage though. I shredded an entire cabbage and there was plenty to cover. I took this to a dinner party last nite and one guest said "this is amazing cole slaw". If you like cole slaw and blue cheese, you'll like it!

I felt this coleslaw was a bit overpowering with the bleu cheese. The longer it sat the stronger it got too.

I followed this recipe exactly as written and we loved it!! I made it and the Restaurant Style Coleslaw from this site and I couldn't decide which was better. They are both awesome, but the blue cheese is especially good for a change of pace!

I didn't change anything - Normally I make coleslaw a day or two in advance but I wouldn't suggest that for this one unless you are looking for a VERY strong blue cheese taste. It was great a few hours after making it - the next day it was strong (ok for me but maybe not for others!). Thanks submitter!
