I wanted a lighter side to go with dinner and thought this would be nice and refreshing. I did like the added flavors and textures of the oranges and pineapple but found the ginger to be overpowering. DH liked it but I couldn't eat mine. Not too much mayo in this, which is good for me since I don't like the stuff. I used black pepper and it was fine.

Very good. Made this for a Luau Pool Party and it was well received. Also a nice alternative to the traditional coleslaw we are used to.

We did not care for this. It was a strang combination of flavors... we thought it should be sweter so after trying it as recommended I added 1/2 cup of Splenda and let it sit for a couple hours. We still did not care for it.
