I was torn between giving four stars or five ... it really is a lovely little recipe, and I appreciated the fact it's different from all the common coleslaws. But in the end I'm giving it four stars because it just didn't seem very flavorful to me -- the flavors are so light and mild that it borders on being bland. I'll definitely make it again, but will tinker with it to give it just a bit more punch -- a bit more Dijon, a bit more ginger ... something. (It could just be that my ginger was a bit old and had lost some flavor!) I may also try just a bit of crystallized ginger ... who knows! But I will make it again -- thanks for posting it! -
I thought that the only change I made was to use Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream but when I came in to review the recipe I discovered that I had left off the mustard. I have a little left and will add in mustard then report back on the review. Overall it was a good recipe that was served with Smokey Citrus Pork Tenderloin (Recipe #312481). I think that both DH and I would have prepared a touch a sweetness. Update: I added in the mustard and as KLHquilts suggested, chopped crystallized ginger. Those additions were exactly what was needed to send this recipe over the top.

<p>Thanks for taking the time to stop by My Page! I am married to a quiet, but fun loving guy who cleans up the kitchen!! I have grandchildren who I adore. I am retired from being a paralegal and a real estate agent. I have also been a substitute teacher for the elementary grades in the public school system. All of my recipes are the tried and true type. Many of them have come from my 48 years of cooking, my mother's recipe box or other relatives. I like Taste of Home magazine and I am a big fan of foodnetworkTV. I am a southern girl and enjoy comfort foods!!! I am a big cookbook collector and have been for years. I enjoy baking desserts most of all. I also enjoy games on my laptop, growing flowers, lunches with friends, babysitting grandchildren, photography and traveling. Since life is so short I try to count my blessings each day and give to the less fortunate. I had gotten into a rut on what to cook. Therefore, I am so happy I found the Recipezaar site. Pet Peeve: People with a negative attitude. MY RATING SYSTEM: 5 stars - Excellent in taste. May have minor change. 4 stars - Adjustment in ingredients for flavor. 3 stars - Fair, but not sure whether I would repeat. 2 and 1 stars - I do NOT give.
