Pretty good recipe. Like many others I reduced the mayo and vinegar by half and it was still a little too wet for me. But my bigger issue was with the minced onions. I love onions but 3 T is a bit much for this and over powers everything else. I think with less onion and a little less liquid this would be a great recipe.

I just made this coleslaw for dinner tonight and it was great. I went by other suggestions and used only 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar. I used 1/2 head of regular and 1/2 head of red cabbage. I added 1/2 tsp of dill. I'll use this dressing for cole slaw from now on. Thanks!

I healthed this recipe up a bit. Used purple cabbage, and organic apple cider vinegar. Also, cut the sugar in half and it turned out fantastic! I will be making this recipe often. Thanks for sharing.

This one is a little wet and vinegar-y for me.

EXACTLY the flavor I was hoping for! It went perfectly with BBQ pork sandwiches.

great recipe - only change i made was 1/4 of the vinegar, a little bit of finely minced red onion instead of the dried, and a splash of mild (we like a little extra juice). Very good flavor - have made several times and it's now a requested dish at most gatherings. thanks you poster!

Actually pretty good. I used raspberry red wine vinegar instead of cider. I will have to try cider vinegar next time. The 3 tbsp. of dehydrated minced onions might be a tad too much for onion taste. I will do 2 tbsp. next time. I liked the vinegar taste and the consistency it helped make the dressing. Unless I find another coleslaw recipe in the future, this one will be the one I use from now on!

This is almost exactly what I was looking for. I followed the advice of others and cut the ingredients in half for a package of pre-cut cabbage, even doing this and using slightly less than 1/4 cup vinegar it was still a bit much for my tastes. Other than that it is a great recipe and really easy. I will definately do again, just with less vinegar!

Simple and good! Make sure it can sit for several hours prior to serving for maximum flavor and you might have to drain a bit of excess liquids. I use splenda instead of sugar and it is still great.

I pulled 2 coleslaw recipes from Allrecipes - this one and another. I mistakenly left the glowing review for the other one. Anyway, my husband has tolerated my trial and error coleslaw recipes and always ended up asking me to just go to the deli. But not with this recipe. It is better than any restaurant coleslaw we have ever had. THIS IS A MUST TRY !!

I cut the dressing amount in half per other reviews for 1 pkg. of shredded coleslaw mix, and even then hubby said too much vinegar. So I suggest cutting the vinegar even more. I added about a tsp of celery seed, just because. Will be 5 stars the next time I prepare this one!

I would cut the amount of dressing in 1/2 next time - I had to drain it 3 times! But the flavour was GREAT!

Good base recipe. Way too much vinegar for our liking, but was still good. I added both red and green cabbage, 1 minced green onion, 1 tsp celery salt, and 1 tsp dry mustard. Will definitly make again, but with half the vinegar.
