I made this with sugar, red wine vinegar and dried minced onion and it was really, really good! Had rosemary roasted potatoes, lemon roasted chicken and sourdough bread with it and the slaw just enhanced all of those flavors. Hubby put it on a chicken sandwich and I thought it'd go really well on a po' boy. My kids liked it - even the picky 7yo asked for it the next night. This is definitely a keeper!

This was great with cabbage and carrots right from the garden. I added fresh green peas and had it with grilled pork and biscuits with homemade strawberry Jam. AMAZING!

Great recipe! Had a bunch of cabbage I wanted to use up, did a quick search and happened to have all of the ingredients on hand. Thanks for sharing, it's definitely a keeper.
