Creamy and tangy! I loved the caraway seeds! The amounts of pickles and caraway may seem like a lot, but they kind of disappear out of site when you mix this up; you can't see them really well, but the flavor is there. I used preshredded cabbage/carrot mix to save on prep time. Thanx for a great slaw!

This is a nice variation of regular slaw. We felt as a stand-alone slaw, it's only 3 stars, but when accompanied with a deli pastrami on rye, it truly compliments the sandwich and they are a perfect match. We would add more sugar next time though, as we like our slaw a bit sweeter and it would help take out some of the tanginess of the onions and mustard. Overall a great recipe and worth trying. :)

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
