I prefer this cole slaw over the creamy type for two reasons. It has a sharp, sweet and tangy flavor and absolutely no fat! I added another half teaspoon of celery seed - because I just love the stuff and used raspberry vinegar. Excellent! -
Thank-you Inez for posting this recipe. I have been searching for this coleslaw recipe for years. I made this earlier in the day, and had it later for supper, it was still good and crisp. My husband really liked this too. I wish I could give you more than 5 stars for this recipe. "It's an all-star salad"!!! -
Mizznezz,two people I go to when I want a really best-outstanding recipe ,one is mandabears and the other is you.This recipe is so like julia childs and is so great,if I could give you a blue ribbbon ,i would.There is no heaviness or wilting here because of no heavy mayo,celery seeds is a must,and your measurements are impeccable,if there was a prize for the perfect cole slaw,you win it hands down.Thanks for posting. -
Loved this! I have a penchant for sweet and sour salads, plus I had two cabbage halves in fridge (one red, one green), plus a few carrots and had recently purchased apple cider vinegar so this was perfect to make! I didn't have any celery seed but I did have celery salt so I used 1 1/2 teaspoons of celery salt and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder instead. Extremely low in fat, flavorful and packed with vitamins A & C! Lovely recipe, thanks MizzNezz. P.S. used 1/4 cup splenda and 1/4 cup sugar to cut back a bit on the sugar calories. -
Very good cole slaw! I did add more celery seed because I really like the taste. A nice change from the creamy version and lowfat with some tang too.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
