After reading the reviews for this recipe, the first time I made this, I followed the advice of many people and only used half an onion. It was tasty, but still a bit too strong. The second time I made it, I used a quarter of a red onion and it was perfect. Red onions can vary in size, so depending on how big or small it is, it could be half an onion if its a small one or a qurter if its a large onion. I also used rice wine vinegar (again at the suggestion of some reviews) and added some salt and pepper and honey to taste. I've now made this recipe 5 times with the small tweaks I mentioned above and its always a show stopper. I even had someone tell me that they usually hate cole slaw, but found this version to be palatable.

This is a favourite at our house with pulled pork sliders. I leave out the raisins, but add a tbsp of brown sugar

Really delicious! I used only half a red onion, substituted apple cider vinegar because that's what I had on hand, and also substituted full-fat greek yogurt for the sour cream (because its healthier, and again, what I had in the fridge). SOO GOOD! especially like the raisins/onion combination.

My husband loves coleslaw and I am always looking for different recipes. This is his all-time favorite. It was so easy to make and delicious.

I thought this was a little too bland. I increased the dijon to 3 teaspoons and increased the vinegar by another teaspoon (2 total). I also added a teaspoon of sugar. That helped. Instead of onion, I had to sneak it in by adding onion powder to the dressing. I used fat free sour cream and reduced fat mayo. No red pepper.

We thought this was ok...not really are thing. The mustard was overwhelming, I tried adding some sugar to see if this would help and it did some, but not enough that I would make this again. Thanks anyways.

Made this for July 4th party and people were asking for the recipe. I used pineapple instead of raisins, left out the red pepper, added 1 tsp of sugar to the dressing, and used white balsamic vinegar...but didn't end up using all the dressing. That would have been too much cream. I also served it after only 30 minutes in the frig. Great recipe because you can revise it a bit and it still comes out yummy.
