"I make this quite often for BBQ parties and everyone loves it! plan ahead, this salad must be prepared a day ahead and left in the fridge overnight to blend the flavors, it will take on a completely different flavor --- I have even added in lightly blanched broccoli and/or cauliflower florets to the veggies, feel free to add in whatever you want to --- remember to add in the white sugar to suit taste if you prefer a sweeter coleslaw adjust the sugar amount, I have added up to about 1 cup, taste the dressing before adding to the salad if you think it needs more sugar then add it into the dressing before mixing into the slaw just make certain to whisk very well so that the sugar is mixed in completely."

Very good. I made it with 1 prepackaged coleslaw mix and halved the dressing. Everyone went back for seconds. This is a keeper! Thanks.

Simply delicious! I so prefer this to creamy slaw. I made mine with a bag of slaw mix, and added a small green pepper, a small red bell pepper, and three scallions. Love the idea of the blanched broccoli and cauliflower, so I'll try that next time. On this recipe, the 2 Tbsp. of mustard and 1/2 cup of sugar was just right for me. Thanks for another wonderful recipe!

This is the absolute best coleslaw! I wasn't sure about the mustard and garlic at first but after one bite I was a believer. I made a huge batch (double) and we kept eating it for a week. It got better and better! Thank you Kittencal!

I liked this, but I think I was expecting something a bit more pickle-y, esp. when, after reading the reviews, I let it sit for a few days. (I will admit - I ate it all along those days!) Also, there was way too much oil for my taste. The sweet balance seemed good - definitely sweet, but not over-sweet. So, I think I will use this as a starting point, adding more vinegar, less oil, and maybe a bit more mustard for more kick.

Loved this salad. Served it with Recipe #91460 for a light supper.
