Delish! I had a bag of coleslaw mix that needed to get used, so I did a search and this recipe sounded interesting and different than anything I've made before . The only change was to use yellow mustard as I don't have creole and was out of brown. I love the bite of the vinegar in the coleslaw. I served it on french bread. I used all the bread for dinner, but the filling is still delicious on its own for lunch!

Great! So easy and tasty. It turned out that the relish I had on hand was dill, so I added just a tiny bit of sugar to balance out the coleslaw, which was just right. This is a keeper, thanks for sharing this recipe. It is perfect for an easy weeknight meal.
