SO,SO, GOOD!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this coleslaw about 4 times already, I just have not had a chance to review it. This is the best coleslaw recipe... ever! I love the scallions in it and the pecans add such a nice crunch to it. However what really surprised me was the maple syrup that it called for however it adds such a nice depth to the coleslaw. I love making this for my BBQ's it gets gobbled up fast. Thanks Nigella!Read more

Loved the crunch!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I had everything on hand for this on the 4th of July, so I whipped up a batch and really liked it. Next time I?m going to... increase the amounts of maple syrup, salt and pepper, though. The dressing tasted wonderful by itself, but once I tossed it with the cabbage, etc. it was a little bit bland. The pecans are a great addition, though, and I will definitely be making this again.Read more

Somewhat disappointed
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

tried this for our 4th of July BBQ-It was just OK, not terrific. I used Savoy Cabbage & found it to be too tender thereby... causing a somewhat bland crunch. May try again but will use regular green cabbage. Read more

Best Coleslaw for BBQ
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We all loved this coleslaw. I made it for a BBQ and it was both very quick and easy and also delicious. I would recommend... adding a little more maple syrup (taste as you go) and I also added more grated carrot. Friends asked me for the recipe. It was perfect with smoked spare ribs, corn bread and baked beans....mmm!Read more

pretty good

I never make or buy coleslaw. But this was pretty tasty. Just don't refrigerate it after you make it, like I did!

Perfect Coleslaw!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This coleslaw has the real authentic, perfect taste! I halfed the recipe and substituted plain yogurt for the buttermilk... (didn't have any on hand) and it was great, nice and creamy. This one's a keeper! Read more
