My family really enjoyed this recipe. We added purple onion because we believe the holy trinity of southwest cooking is jalapenos, cilantro and onions.

Tried something new for tailgating, followed the recipe exactly as written and nobody really cared for it. Oh well, everyone has different tastes - you win some and lose some. Still, thanks for the recipe.

A great blending of ingredients. I've been on a coleslaw kick lately, having tried a number of new coleslaw recipes. This recipe is not the best I've had, but it's very good. It's still coleslaw, but with a fun and adventuresome Tex-Mex twist. It was a bit dry upon first mix, but after adding a dab of extra ranch dressing and after it sat for awhile, it became plenty "wet." So, I may not have needed to add more ranch dressing after all. The kick is about right for me. Please note: The cilantro flavor is prominent, nearly dominating the taste. Like my wife, if you aren't a fan of cilantro--reduce it or leave it out. I'm not a big fan of cilantro, but in this salad--it just works.

This was really great--I'd give it five stars, but I think my adjustments made it a five, not the recipe. I used frozen corn, fresh chopped green pepper and onion instead of the canned corn and added about a 1/4 cup of salsa to the sauce. It was all so crunchy and spicy. By husband couldn't stop eating it.

This is absolutely the BEST!!! My husband NEVER liked any slaw, but he LOVES this one. Everybody asked for the recipe at the BBQ. I made it with NO-FAT Ranch, and LOW-FAT Cheese, added 2 tbl.spoons of NO-FAT sour cream and 1 tbl.spoon of SPLENDA. AWESOME!!!

This was really different and good. I also added some onion to the recipe. It definitely is better after sitting 24 hours, liked much better than eating right away. Nice change of pace from regular coleslaw.
