"This is an easy recipe. It's better when left to soak up the dressing for a few hours. My mom has been making this for years."

Delicious! We really enjoyed this, I don't think I've ever tried coleslaw with apple before and it's really good. I subbed sour cream for the buttermilk and that worked really well. I also used the green onion option rather than red onion since it's what I had available. Very yummy recipe, thanks for posting. made for PAc Spring 2010.

Make sure you let this one mellow for a few hours, it makes all the difference. At first the dressing tasted way too lemony and sweet (it reminded me of a no-bake lemon cheesecake batter!). But after a few hours, it was quite yummy. Still not my absolute favourite coleslaw, but that could've been because I made it "light" ... light mayo, Splenda, and more buttermilk than mayo. I really enjoyed the addition of the apples, and I also added some carrots. I used green onions which I think was much nicer than red would've been.

A very solid traditional cole slaw recipe. I doubled and followed the dressing ingredients and poured it over a combination of red and green cabbage, purple onion and carrot. Delicious!

Perfect in every way! Crisp, creamy, sweet, and just darned good! The only thing I changed, was using cream instead of buttermilk. If you are like me and don't care much for cole slaw, try this one and you will change your tune! Thanks!

You can`t go wrong with this fresh, sweet, cruncy, yummy salad! I cut the recipe to 1/4 and used red onions. Thanks Mary for a great cole slaw!
