I'm sorry I got this one mixed up with another one. This one looks really good. Will try soon.

This was more of an asian style cole slaw so, if you prefer the creamier variety like I do, then this is not the slaw for you. The red pepper and vinegar were too strong for my taste.

Ooh, so very good! Used a little less sugar and omitted the raisins as I'm not a fan. Also used 1 ts of ground ginger instead of fresh and mixed it into the dressing. Such a great, crunchy salad! Thank you so much for the recipe!

Excellent, excellent, excellent!!! I wouldn't change one thing about this recipe. Although I know 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper will be to much for some, I LOVED it. The red pepper and ginger really make this salad sing. I thought the dressing was insufficient at first, but after stirring thoroughly and allowing to marinate it was just right! This salad would be best if prepared a day in advance and allow to marinate well. I didn't have fresh ginger and I used ginger paste and added it to the dressing ingredients. WOW, all these fresh veggies, I could eat this for desert it's that good. You've really got a winner here Dancer. Oh, I cut the oil back to 2 teaspoons and used splenda for the sugar just to shave a few more calories off an already low calorie total. I just can't thank you enough for this, we LOVE IT!!

One of my new favorite salads !!! I really loved this bright , light , colorful slaw !!! The only thing I did not add was the grated ginger (did not have any) and this was still just WONDERFUL !!!
