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!

I liked this slaw, I added thinly sliced red onion and it was a very good side with minimal effort. The recipe is wrong and replace salt with celery salt.

Again, Rachel Ray has come to us with something anybody could have figured out for himself.

No zip, no zing, no flavor.

If you want to make this recipe better, throw an extra two minutes into it. Add some lemon juice, some finely diced onion, horseradish, a bit of mustard, dill if you're into it, try bacon crumbles, and heck, while you're at it, use the bacon grease as a replacement for your oil.

I really enjoyed this slaw. My husband, who LOVES cole slaw, devoured it. It is a healthy alternative to the mayonaise version. And very simple to make.

Great and easy to make. The dressing is perfect and goes great with any salad.

A great quick slaw recipe! I'd advise only making enough for one meal because leftovers don't keep well. The next day mine was a soggy inedible mess. Luckily I had another bag of shredded cabbage in the fridge and whipped up another batch. I think the 1 tsp. salt should have said 1 tsp. celery seeds. I used only half that amount and it came out great.

I really enjoyed the sweet/sour aspect of this, and it really could not have been any easier to make. Will make again.
