I did half the recipe. I put 1 carrot, 1 golden delicious apple, no celery seeds, no onion. Maybe next time I'll double the sauce. It's delicious :)

This is now our favourite coleslaw recipe, even the kids like it! I left out the onions and used the dressing ingredients as specified with 1/8 tsp. salt and pepper, but with 1/2 head of cabbage. Great recipe, thanks for sharing!!!

This recipe is now a family favorite - all other coleslaw recipes have been discarded! I omitted the celery seed, doubled the dressing and used low-fat mayonnaise and the taste is FABULOUS!

This was a great cole slaw. I used a bag of ready made cole slaw and I used a sugar substitute and fat free mayonnaise in the dressing as I am diabetic. We have a salad with every meal and hubby usually takes just a bit but tonight he had seconds and then thirds of this delicious cole slaw. Thanks for a great recipe!!!

Sometimes my husband is not too thrilled with coleslaw, but he and I both loved this recipe.

This was a wonderful coleslaw and a change from my own recipe. I really enjoyed the dressing, it had just the perfect balance of sweetness, and the apples really brought out a nice flavor. Great recipe, I really enjoyed this!....Kittencal:)

Very Good, I liked the idea of the apples in the slaw. The onion was a bit overpowering to the apples though. I think next time I'll leave the onion out. Note ~ I used 1/2 of a large head of cabbage and needed to double the dressing to get it to the right quantity for the amount of slaw.

This was great, islandgirl. Only change I made was to add my secret ingredient, a few dried cranberries and lemon juice rather than vinegar.
