With these few modifications this recipe is a copy-cat of the wonderful slaw at Cover 3 Sports Bar in Austin, TX: Cut vegetable oil to 1/3 cup. Add 1 Tbsp. Walnut oil. Cut vinegar to 3 Tbsp. Cut syrup to 1 Tbsp. Sub 1 bag of TRI-color shredded cabbage slaw. Delete the carrot, since you'll have carrot in your slaw mix. Cut green onions to use only 4. I toss Everything in the bag to marinate. Best if left to marinate for 4 hours.
