I loved the flavor of the mustard in this. I didn't have white wine vinegar so used white vinegar. Very nice salad! Thank you Polly!

Yum, a really great fresh coleslaw that I received many compliments on! It had a nice blend of ingredients that gave plenty of colour and flavour. I used Dijon mustard instead of French, but only because of what I had on hand. The quantity of mayonnaise and other dressings was just perfect. Really nice side dish for just about any meal!
