Thought I'd try a different slaw recipe and this one was a winner! We liked it being spicy. I used garlic powder and left out the peppers (didn't have any). I also cut the recipe in half since I only had 1/2 head of cabbage. Thank you so much for posting, Molly.

SOOOO delicious! I used 1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder in place of the garlic salt and used green onions, I also added in a pinch of cayenne pepper for heat, I allowed it to chill for about 5 hours, thanks for posting this great recipe Molly!

I scaled this recipe down and found that I needed more mayo than called for. My slaw was a little spicier than I like so a judicious hand with the Tabasco is recommended. Thanks for sharing this interesting twist on cole slaw.
