Very good coleslaw dressing. It went well with a Hungarian Goulash.

This was very good. I was looking for a recipe like my German grandmother's. This was close but I think it was sweeter than hers. I, too, used the packaged slaw mix. I'll try again with less sugar/more vinegar. Thanks for posting, it brought back some wonderful memories of my Grandma's cooking.

Excellent! The only change I made was using less oil (1/3C) and a prepackaged slaw mix. Worked out beautifully. Great flavors. Made and served within 2 hours of making. YUM!

We really enjoyed this coleslaw. It's such a nice change from my usual mayo-based dressing. I used a package of pre-shredded coleslaw mix that made this so simple to make. Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT 6.
