This was excellent, nutritious, easy, and low in calories. I will be including this as one of my favorite salads. I made one change because I didn't have any plain yogurt, but I happened to have some lime yogurt (there's lemon in the recipe anyway). I omitted the honey because it was already sweetened, but kept everything else. Thank you.

It was great I did it on christmas day as an alternative to normal cole slaw. Taste delicious

I liked this a lot and so did hubby! and that is with using bottled lemon juice. This was surprisingly good and a fun way to eat some fruits and veggies. Again, this is another winner and does great the next day in the sack lunch.

Easy and low calorie, can't wait to make it again, I may add some sunflower seeds or raisins or dried cranberries or maybe a tablespoon of bacon bits or. . .? Used "recipe#99415" with this. Thank you!

I too used shredded carrots and diced apple (and I left out the celery as I don't like it). I used all fat free plain yogurt and doubled the honey. I think I would have preferred it with part yogurt/part mayo. The honey did help to take away some of the bite from the yogurt. UPDATE: I MUCH preferred this after it had sat for over a day. My lunch portion was much less tangy than what I had tried for dinner two night before. So I'd simply recommend making this ahead of time!
