We really enjoyed this coleslaw, especially DH. I liked the nuts and seeds especially, though I wasn't so fond of the sprouts. DH on the other hand, especially liked the sprouts in the mixture. I used agave nectar instead of sugar in the dressing, and used organic tamari instead of soy. This is a very flavorful and easy side dish to make - I like that! Thanks for posting - made for Spring PAC 2012.
