"I tasted this recipe many years ago at my best friend's mom's house. I had to have the recipe. She used to make it for wedding showers or other large functions and everyone loved it. It has a wonderful sweet, tangy dressing."

Wonderful! This is a nice alternative to the slaws made with so much mayo you can hardly find the cabbage. The celery was an ingredient I'd not used in coleslaw before. It gave it a nice crunch. Thanks!

<p>I live in the Kansas City area and have many hobbies including cooking, reading and spending time with my husband and two children who are very active in sports now. I also have an eBay business which is a fun hobby that makes a little extra money! My interest in cooking focuses on making healthy dishes that are more satisfying than the higher fat and higher sugar versions. If I had a month off with no responsibilities, I would spend it at a luxury spa. <br /> <br /></p>
