I did alter this recipe quite a bit. I used 1/2 red cabbage and 1/2 julienned collard greens. Also, instead of green onions I used a small yellow onion and I omitted the red pepper simply because I did not have any on hand. I added a dash of sesame oil, about 2 tbls hoisin sauce and some garlic powder. Came out very good. I suggest letting it sit in the fridge overnight before eating. Also, I followed another reviewer's advice and sweated out the red cabbage with salt.

AMAZING! That coming from a household that hates conventional coleslaw. I tweaked the recipe a bit - i didn't have green onion, switched orange pepper for the red, then added a package of cooked, crumbled bacon. I also mixed in several tablespoons of Pampered Chef's Asian Seasoning. I LOVE this recipe - and so did everyone I had for dinner.

Hard to believe a coleslaw could be so good for you and delicious! I used olive oil instead of vegetable, otherwise followed strictly. This is now on my families faves list!

I didn't have the different types of cabbage so I used the pre-shredded cabbage/carrot mix from the store. Fantastic recipe! HINT: to prevent over watery slaw, place the cabbage in a strainer and coat/toss with plenty of salt. Put the strainer on top of a bowl and let it sit for about an hour. You will see all the excess water in the bowl from the cabbage. RINSE IT WELL until the salt taste is gone. Then mix rinsed cabbage with the other ingredients and let it sit over night. The "empty" cabbage will then be able to soak up the flavors of the vinegar, honey and seasonings. This will totally change your slaw taste.

This is a very simple but tastey cole slaw recipe. I made it even simpler but just using a bag of preshredded cabbage from the bagged salad aisle. It already had two colors of cabbage & carrots. I shredded another carrot into it and still added the green onion & red pepper. First time I made it, we felt it needed just a little extra something. The second time I added a splash of lemon juice & a little extra salt to the dressing. We liked it better that way. But even as written, for as easy & quick as it was to put together, we enjoyed it.

I was surprised this didn't taste super sweet because of the amount of honey in it. But that's ok, I didn't really want a sweet dressing. I've been trying to duplicate a slaw they serve at our favorite Mexican restaurant, this isn't it but it's not bad.

Very nice. I do add craisons to the mix to add a touch of sweet/tartness.

I made this last spring and it was wonderful. We had it with lowfat sloppy joes and it was a nice addition.

I tried it and I liked it :0) I omitted the bell peppers, added water chestnuts, and swapped the onions for leeks. Turns out, you can put what ever you want in it, the dressing is the key.
