This is really great coleslaw. I did add a couple tbs of light mayo for the creamy aspect, and left out green peppers (preference), but otherwise made as is. Very good. : )

Top of the charts coleslaw! We LOVED it! I never thought to add garlic or onion powder to my coleslaw. What a difference it makes! Thank you!

This was the nicest coleslaw I have ever made and I've made plenty over the years - definitely a keeper

WOW! This was a big hit at our family fourth of July picnic. I don't know why it took my 50 yrs to figure out that putting the prepared, bagged coleslaw mix in the food processor made it just right - no more big chunks of cabbage to pick out and throw away. I used yellow bell pepper for color, dried onion in the dressing and about 1/4 cup of sweet onion in the slaw. This is a keeper and perfect for topping off hot dogs. Thanks, Carole in Orlando

This would probably have been a very good coleslaw had I just trusted my instinct to leave out the raw onion but I wanted to follow the recipe and it was way too strong tasting. I would not use more than two tablespoons of onion if I were to try this again.
