REVIEWS:

What an absolutely delicious salad! I was pleasantly surprised to see that this salad is huge! Just the right amount of dressing for all the lovely ingredients... a definite 5-star recipe!

I just loved this recipe. I used green onions, and used broccoli coleslaw in a package. I also used the small shells and used 14 oz of those. I know I changed it up quite a bit but everything worked so well together. I did not use the water chestnuts, but this dish never lacked for flavor. It makes so much I take it to our Church dinners and any other get togethers. Yummy!!

I have made this salad many times. Everyone really likes it. I have added pineapple tidbits, chopped apples, or fresh peas at times.

Good recipe, but added a little caraway and used peas instead of cucumber.

I think you can use small macaroni in this recipe. It taste wonderful made with mayo instead of mircle whip. Good recipe!

Would be awesome with a little imitation crab meat added as well!!!

Made this for a family gathering, it was so Good !!!!! Will make it again.

Have made this recipe several times. Everyone loves it ~ yum!

Really good change of pace. Will use for get togethers this summer

Yum! Love this recipe. This will be my go-to side dish for family get togethers/potlucks. Love the noodles, gives it such a good texture. I cut the recipe in half.

The BEST salad ever. People who don't like Coleslaw liked this one. I did not use water chestnuts, and substituted Splenda for the sugar. Delicious.

I made this to bring to a party. I may have to make it again so I have enough to bring! I cut the sugar, used mayonnaise and a 16 oz. bag of coleslaw. Delicious.

This is very good. A nice change from the traditional coleslaw. I didn't add the chestnuts. Family enjoyed it.

Made for a family get-together. Everyone loved it!

This recipe is so good! I took to a fish fry and was a huge hit....everybody loved it!

Yummy! I used mayonnaise instead of Miracle Whip.

Everyone loves this. I only use one onion. It makes a lot and tastes delicious. I also added chopped peanuts to the top. This is a keeper!

I have this and been told it is best ever Cole slaw , but to cut calories I sub half mayo for plain yogurt still get rave reviews
