Emeril Lagasse's Coleslaw

Submitted by Amber Dawn

"Made this tonight for my "Survivor" dinner group and it was great. Easy and fast to do with a food processor and the flavor was perfect. I was concerned about 4 teaspoons of celery seed, but it was just right. I'm definitely adding this to my favorites. This recipe is 3 WW Pts."

This was a really good recipe. It was one of the pinkest cole slaws I've ever seen, but the taste was just how I like my cole slaw. I'm adding it to my favorites!

I am generally not a big cole slaw fan, BUT this one is perfect. I put in a little less sugar, because I don't like sweet slaw, and it was so good. We put it on top of pulled pork sandwiches and it was truly a hit. Red cabbage is not an option here. It is a must. Sprinkle a little coarse salt over it! Great!

Fantastic!<br/><br/>My first coleslaw - made for pulled pork sandwiches.<br/><br/>This reminded me of a favourite recipe - Whole Foods Sonoma Chicken Salad - maybe because of the combination of mayo, slight sweetness, and an overall fresh, cool, just rich enough feeling.<br/><br/>My only issue was using old old old celery seeds from the spice cabinet - and I just read that old celery seeds acquire a bitter taste.

Got rave reviews at the barbecue I took it to. BUT I left out the cayenne. This coleslaw definitely has enough bite without it. I also added 3 T. brown sugar because the apple cider vinegar seemed to outweigh everything else until I added more sugar. I used 1/2 a shallot instead of 1/2 c. of onion, and entirely left out the green pepper. It was really good, everybody begged for the recipe!

This was really, really good until I added the yellow onion, then it overpowered the rest. So I would make it again, but without the onion or with much less.
