I substituted the peanut/vegetable oil for olive oil and I added a bit of celery seed. Turned out great! Thank you.

So quick and easy, especially if using the packaged slaw mix. And, it's a great base. I do substitute celery salt, and I sometimes add a little dry mustard and/or celery seed and/or chopped green onion or grated regular onion. But I don't have to! The secret is the red wine vinegar, I think.

I use peanut oil at home for the extra flavor, but substitute canola when taking it somewhere - you never know who's allergic anymore.

When I'm shredding my own (red cabbage I'll shred carrot, green or red pepper, radish, English cucumber, or whatever. But again, I don't have to. Thanks, Rachel.

Hard to believe something so simple can be so great. I remembered the celery salt only after having put 1/2 regular salt, so the first time my salt was 1/2 and 1/2. Subsequently I've used all celery salt. This is such a hit, I've resorted to keeping a bottle of dressing made up in the frig to put on individual servings as it doesn't keep if dressed all at once. My husband is having a bowl as a bedtime snack right now.

Delicious, super easy and quick to make, and most important, inexpensive. I also did not feel guilty eating it, as it wasn’t heavy and mayonnaise-, like regular coleslaw.

I always thought a bachelors cookbook with simple recipes would be great. This would be the coleslaw recipe in the cookbook. We grated the cabbage instead of shredding it and used fresh cabbage and carrots. But the dressing was the kicker and was excellent. I think the red wine vinegar is the key. Best slaw I have ever had. Thanks Rachel. After 44 years, I will not need to look for another slaw recipe. I ate two oversize helpings and put it on my hotdog. My 9 year old sun even liked it and he hates coleslaw. Well done.

I was pleasantly surprised by how good this was! I served with BBQ pork sandwiches and it was a terrific addition. I used fresh white cabbage and little red cabbage, white balsamic instead of red wine vinegar (which is milder and fruitier and splenda bc that's what i had....i used celery salt as suggested in reviews and i also added a little cayenne. turned out terrific. i will make again.

I am a fan of this recipe as is. However, one variation that is ALWAYS a big hit at picnics (especially when served with BBQ pulled pork! is to add these ingredients to your taste for each bag of slaw:

1/2 ? Finely diced Jalepeno pepper (no seeds
1/2 ? Chopped Cilantro (remove stems
dash of cayenne pepper
add a little more red wine vinegar

Enjoy!
