A terrific alternative to traditional cole slaw. It's crisp, crunchy, a little sweet and delicious!!! And, much healthier than traditional cole slaw.
The recipe makes a lot. You may want to cut in 1/2. Also...I find that doubling the dressing is good. That way, I pour on half and have some left on the side for folks to add if they like. on 11/16/2009
