Excellent recipe! I've had this before and lost my original recipe so I was happy to find this one. The only things I changed was I used splenda instead of sugar, I used a prepackaged broccoli slaw mix, decreased the oil a bit and added a grilled chicken on top for a nice lunch salad. I added almonds (as that is what I had) and the ramen noodles right before serving to retain crunch. YUM!

I've made this twice now. The first time I made it as is, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars. The cider vinegar was way too heavy for the slaw and there was too much sugar in the dressing. Tonight, I made it with rice vinegar, slivered almonds, and less sugar (about 1/4 - 1/3 of a cup instead of 1/2). With those modifications, I think a 5 star recipe!

The best ever!!! I made as directed and my only addition was 2 tbs of mayo to the dressing, it made it a little creamier. Other than that, it's perfect. Thank you so much for the post.

Good and simple recipe-- and easy to change up w/ different ingredients as you have on hand. The dressing was a bit on the sweet side to me- so i'd probably cut down a little bit on the sugar next time. Also, adding fried won ton strips added to the crunch. I would definitely make it again!

This a wonderful change from a "traditional" coleslaw, which I don't like. I cut down the oil and sugar to 1/3 of a cup. I thought I had rice wine vinegar, but I had red wine vinegar which I used instead of cidar vinegar and it still turned out great. I added a tablespoon of sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds. I boiled the marinade for about a minute and let it rest and come to room temp before pouring it over the broccoli slaw mixture I got from the store. My husband was pleasantly surprised and is looking forward to "us" taking it to our next family gathering.

This was great! I omitted the nuts and added toasted sesame seeds and a few drops of sesame seed oil. My family loved it.

This was delicious. It reminded me a lot of broccoli salad. Next time I'll try olive oil in place of the veg. oil and either reduce the sugar or use splenda. Excellent!

AWESOME!!!! I normally do not like salads this much but on this one the dressing makes it, I even cut the sugar in half and it was still super sweet! It definitely needs chicken (which I added) and I think next time I will add some chilled lo mien noodles and mandarin orange slices... then it would be PERFECT! I will eat this salad often! THANKS!! :)
