This was amazing! A huge hit at my weekwnd cookout. The flavors are very complex - a little bit of hot and sweet and earthy. Don't skip the toasted pecans, as they somehow pull all the flavors together.

Great cole slaw! The healthy approach to it brings down the fat when cooking a full-on bbq. I think the orange and walnut flavors accent the bbq meal.

I have a hard time believing most of the positive comments. I love Tyler's recipes, but this was a horrible tasting salad. I had found the recipe online and decided to make it for a potluck dinner, bad idea. Sorry but for anyone that makes this, taste the dressing before you pour it over what could have been a great salad.
