Susie Slaw
"I don't know who Susie is, but my mom has made this salad for years and it is my absolute favorite! Everyone requests this dish whenever we go to barbecues! Don't add the dressing until right before serving or the salad will become soggy. I have made this with lower-fat versions of the dressing ingredients with good results, so feel free to lighten it up."

I am sorry, I don't want to be mean, but this dressing was utterly aweful. It had a very bazzar sweetness to it. I only made this because I needed something fast and it had 6 rave ratings. I am so glad that I only made a half of what it called for. I had to add some rice vinegar, pepper, some fresh garlic, some salt to salvage. It will have to do for now. I understand that everyone has different preference but this is definitely not it. -
What a great salad! The perfect accompanyment for a BBQ. I was afraid it would be too sweet for my family's taste, but NO!, it was just right. My mom suggested using sweetened condensed milk instead of sugar - that's how she does with her copycat KFC slaw - so I might try that next time. I used creme fraiche instead of sour cream, but I'm going to learn to make home made sour cream for next time. Thanks for posting. (please refer to my rating criteria, 4 stars is good!) -
Great recipe. Cut back the dressing abit. We really enjoyed the flavours. -

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
After graduating from college in spring of 2007, I am now working as a Traffic Engineer. Now that I have free time instead of homework, I've been trying all sorts of new recipes that are more involved.
I am always trying to get healthy food into my husband and 7-year old step-son. I am slowly wearing on them, both of them will finally eat vegetables with every dinner. Both of them like helping in the kitchen, especially on mini pizza nights!
We have a 4-year old male lab/golden retriever mix and when the two "boys" get going, look out!
I participated in my in-law's family Christmas party this year by bringing almond roca. It was a huge hit and everyone wants it again next get-together! I will definately bring it again, but I don't want to give the recipe out to them because it is so easy and I like them thinking I worked by butt off!!
A cooking tragedy I once had in high school: I was making some pesto for my mom and I to have with lunch. At the time, I didn't know the difference between a clove and a bulb of garlic and I ended up putting about half a bulb of garlic in the recipe then stopped because I though "two whole bulbs would be a lot"... the recipe read 2 cloves ... Needless to say, we had bad breath for days and I never forgot what a clove was!!
I haven't tried all of my posted recipes, but if I posted them I thought they sounded good and figured I should give someone else the chance to try them before I get to them.
