This is a fantastic recipe that I always use to accompany eastern North Carolina-style pulled pork barbecue. I find that the coleslaw is much better when it is made with Savoy cabbage -- ordinary cabbage has a sharpness that is much mellower with the Savoy.

I'm not a big coleslaw fan. This one was pretty good, for coleslaw. Better than average.

This is most of the items I am allowed to eat. Because of dietary "issues", I substituted fat free sour cream for the sour cream and Splenda for the sugar. Also had to leave our the salt. This is actually one recipe my husband will eat. He is not a veggie eater and that's about all I can eat. Need more Low or fat free recipes like this.

I finely chopped everything rather than shredding because I like a chunkier slaw. This was divine and received rave reviews from the neighbors and fam. Perfect side for the 4th of July. We WILL be making this again for future cookouts.

I love this recipe. It is simple and even picky eaters cannot find anything wrong. But...because I have a load of picky eaters, I grate the onion rather than chopping it, only use mayo, and skip the celery seed. Sometimes I use Splenda instead of sugar. Obviously it is great on top of pulled pork or brisket sandwiches, but try this on top of bbq'd hot dogs! You will LOVE it!

I 'liked' this recipe but had to change it a bit. I would omit the onions next time. It did not taste right in my opinion with an onion flavor. Also, I would add more sour cream and also add some buttermilk. It was a little dry without. I loved the celery seed though! I would make it again with the above suggestions!

This is the tastiest dressing I've found. Don't be shy, add shredded peeled broccoli stems, thin bias sliced celery, the options are boundless!

This coleslaw is great! I have made it twice and my family likes it even better than our local deli''s coleslaw. It is good even without the celery seeds, but of course, better with them.
