I love this slaw! It's my go-to recipe for picnics and potlucks in the warm months. I have made it so many times and always get rave reviews. At 20 calories and a trace of fat, everyone appreciates how it fills you up, tastes different from the mayo-saturated salads (can't "spoil"), and enables you to eat dessert. It's so colorful, too! I use a mandoline slicer and although it takes a while to matchstick-cut everything, it's so easy to prep the veg's & sauce the day before and just toss it together an hour before the party.05/20/09

Everybody loved it!!! I doubled up the dressing and increased the spice. Had requests from everyone for the recipe. Easy chopping and slicing with the Pampered Chef slice and grate!08/25/07
