Best Ever Coleslaw (With Blue Cheese)

Submitted by Cook4_6

"My neighbor made this for her daughter's birthday party over the 4th of July holiday and I would have to say it is the best coleslaw I have ever had! If you don't like blue cheese, you could probably substitute feta cheese!"

I am not going to rate this because it was very disappointing for us. I made this for a father's day barbeque. Although we are all blue cheese lovers, we did not like the blue cheese in this - thought it was overpowering. Additionally, we thought there was too much dresseing for the amount of vegetables. If I were to make this again, I would probably cut the dressing in half and use only 1/2 cup blue cheese. We really wanted to love this, but it just didn't work for us! :-(

Loved this slaw! 5 Stars!! I did use more cabbage and carrots than was called for....there is a lot of dressing. Maybe you should judge by eye since the size of cabbages vary. I think you could leave out the salt because of the celery salt and the salt in the blue cheese to reduce the saltiness......I can't say I have ever been "blown away" by the taste of a cole slaw, but this was just fabulous! Thank goodness my daughter requested that I find her a cole slaw with blue cheese recipe!! I loved the blue cheese. A definitie "do-again" recipe! Thanks for sharing! Made for Photo Tag.
