Made this as per the directions. This made a nice change of pace. It is not overly sweet and is creamy without a lot of added fat. I made it in the morning and we ate it that afternoon. It will be interesting to see how the flavors blend overnight.

I really love making cole slaws and was excited to try this one. I did use pre-shredded coleslaw, fresh red cabbage and carrots. The toasting of the celery seeds was interesting (It does make them smell more fragrant) but I was impatient for them to totally cool and mixed them while warm. I don't think it affected it. The pineapple juice is subtle and the flavors show up better after refrigeration.I noticed my kids ate it! Went well with Kid Pleasin' Chicken Terriyaki. Roxygirl
