I made this salad to serve with potato tacos. I reduced the recipe succussfully & omitted the cucumber. The flavors in the salad matched well with the mild tacos and the garlic is a top note. Not for date night! LOL

We thoroughly enjoyed this refreshing and flavoursome coleslaw with Recipe #369635, and particularly liked the inclusion of cucumber (I used Lebanese cucumbers so they didn't need to be peeled) and tomatoes. I used a Savoy cabbage, so much more flavoursome than other cabbages and, for our tastes, the amount of garlic, was spot on! :) If you're making this, do adjust the garlic to meet your taste preferences! Thank you for sharing this yummy recipe, acarast: it's certainly one I'll happily make again. Made for ZWT 5.

Not impressive. To me this has too much garlic I would go half on the cloves. I didn't even end up serving it at dinner because I thought it was too over the top with garlic.

A very nice slaw to use for fish tacos. It goes together easy and uses pretty basic ingredients that are typically in my kitchen. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
