one of the nicest , freshest , cole slaw type salads we've had in a long time. Simple , easy and quick and with flavour too. Thanks for posting, we will be making this again. -
Tasty and refreshing! I added 1/2 cup packed spinach leaves cut into ribbons, used both lemon juice and white balsamic vinegar. Added a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Thanks for sharing your easy recipe! PS The olives are a nice garnish with this! -
Our family rarely made coleslaw with mayonnaise. THIS is the way WE do it. -
simple and like the salad the serve you with Doener or Koefte in Germany. -
Very Good! I've been on a cabbage kick. It has so many health benefits, but can get a little hard to eat in large amounts. I really like this recipe because it isn't heavily dressed with an unhealhy dressing. I'm looking forward to making it again and adding other veggies. Thanks for posting!
