Emeril, I am glad I found this. I keep losing my sister-in-law receip for the same coleslaw. I make it let it sit a day then put it small containers and freeze it. I am one person household and this is great coleslaw. We called Cheri's Freezer Coleslaw. Keep cooking Emeril

My husband would never eat cole slaw UNTIL I made this recipe!! He LOVES it, and all my friends said the same. "Different", "excellent", "wow, no mayonaise!", "awsome flavor" were just a few of the comments. I have reduced the sugar slightly (only 1 cup, and I find the flavor is better if the Essence is added with the rest of the ingredients, so the "kick" is more pronouced. This is definitely a KEEPER for my family!
