Very good slaw! I'm glad to see that others like onions in their cole slaw. I used a red bell pepper instead of green, just for more color. I don't usually have Miracle Whip, so I used mayo and added a little more sugar to mimic the sweet tanginess. This is delicious. Even better the next day. Thanx!

I've never thought of using onions in slaw before or mustard or bell pepper (I used red since I don't like green) but it really works and it is really good! We had this last night alongside pot roast sandwiches! Very yummy! Thanks for posting!Made for Veg'n Tag 37!

I tasted some right after making it and I already know it's five star worthy! I can't wait to see it get better overnight. I made it with Vegenaise instead of Miracle Whip, so it's really healthy and cholesterol-free. What a great treat to enjoy something so good for you.

I forgot to purchase a red bell pepper for this salad and used red onion instead. Trader Joe's brand mayo subbed for Miracle Whip. Yes, I even used plain old white distilled vinegar in the coleslaw. This went extremely well with my posted Recipe #484994 (a recipe inspired by this one!) You can't eat coleslaw without baked beans to go with it, can you? Reviewed for Veg Tag/August. Good coleslaw!

Mmmmmm. I made this early this morning and it's been in the fridge long enough for a test sample. This is going to be great with tonight's steak. I just sent everything through the food pro using the thin slicer and chopped the onion quite fine after it was sliced. Took almost no time for a yummy slaw.
