Place cabbage, carrots, green pepper and onion into a large bowl. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix together all of the remaining ingredients.
Pour over the vegetables and toss well to combine. Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours for the flavors to meld.
Stir again before serving.
NOTE: When I use packaged cabbage, I use 2 packages and chop it a little finer with a chopping blade.

I made this for a Memorial Day cookout held at my sister's house. I got raves about it and most wanted to take some home for leftovers. I ended up taking home an empty bowl. I think I will be requested to bring this to more gatherings in the future. My son's fiance already asked me to make it for her wedding reception. This makes a lot and all of the ingredients go really well together. I didn't change a thing. Thanks B&B for an excellent slaw recipe!

This isn't Memphis style nor is it Corky's slaw this is an abomination and as a southerner it offends me.

Good coleslaw. I only had 1 hour to refrigerate but was still good. Served it with Recipe #13982.

This had a great flavor. I omitted the carrots and bell pepper as I didn't have them. Turned out a little too wet(maybe because I left the other veggies out) Next time I may double the cabbage as I like it less soggy. Still was extremely tasty.
