I liked this recipe. Great flavors with the cider vinegar, honey, celery seed and Dijon. I used 1/2 of a very large head of cabbage that I just pulled from my garden. Made about 8 c chopped so I used the entire recipe and it was just right. But agree probably too much for 4-5c cabbage. I did use a bit more celery salt but didn’t add additional salt. Lots less expensive than buying the higher end, but tasty brand of coleslaw dressing. BTW, brand of Mayo starting with the letter H is not high sodium, in fact, it’s considered low sodium by FDA definition at 4% of daily value. High sodium is considered more than 20% of DV.
