I read this recipe from a book I have and decided I wanted to try it. Then today I was looking at reviews and got a little worried about so much negative feedback.... Glad I decided to try it anyway, it's delicious! The online recipe calls for 8oz of cabbage though and I used 14 like my book says. Also, 3 apples could be cut down to a little over one and if you buy the coleslaw mix it already has green onions in it so that's not necessary either.

Wanted to make this for a pot luck luncheon and thank goodness I prepared it for my family first. It was terrible. Don't know whether or not it had been tested; but had it - the salad would never have made it to print. 3 TBS of Vinegar seems like way too much and so does 3 apples I did adjust it some w/only 2 apples; but still the sour taste. Thumbs down

I made this just today, and my family loved it. However, I do think there are some problems with the orginial recipe, which is why I just adjusted it without even trying it first as it was written.

The major key, I think, is using a larger serving of colesaw mix (the cabbage and carrot. I used a 14 oz bag instead of an 8 oz. I kept the measurements for everything else the same.

I *did* use only two green apples, instead of three. I tried one, had my family take a bite and figured out it wasn't "applely" enough. So I cut up another. Three, I think, would have been way too much even with the added coleslaw mix.

I also substituted Splenda for the sugar (same measurement, though, and I used OIkos greek yogurt (fat free instead of the sour cream. Plus, I added a bit of garlic powder to it.

Also, be careful with the ranch mix and the vinegar. Use level level LEVEL amounts of the ranch - do not using heaping tablespoons, and measure out the vinegar over the sink or another bowl so you don't get extra into the sauce you're making. If you use *just* the 2 tbs for the ranch and just 3 tbs for the vinegar with the 14 oz package, it turns out perfectly - every bit is coated, but there's no heavy excess that the coleslaw is forced to sit in.
