Our new standard slaw. Delicious! Make sure you either use unsweetened cranberries OR cut the honey amount in half.

An over looked slaw, great flavours, easy to adapt and easily paired with barbecue anything.

made substitutions with what I had on hand. Red cabbage instead is savoy, Vidalia onion instead of green onions, and sour cream instead of buttermilk. Absolutely the best slaw recipe I’ve ever made - and I’ve made A LOT! The dressing is key,

This was delicious. I had no pecans, so I substituted walnuts. I appreciated somebody else’s suggestion of agave syrup, as well. A really great recipe!

Needed dressing for a bag of broccoli slaw. This worked great with substitutions available in the house (pandemic). Used agave instead of honey and a little sour cream instead of buttermilk. If I hadnt been out of greek yogurt I would have used that instead. To thin it a little I added some apple cider vinegar ( we like our slaw tangy.) Sprinkled cranberry pepita salad toppings from costco. It was yummy.

Love this slaw. Best I have ever made. The Savoy cabbage makes it more tender and the dried fruit adds a delightful surprise. Definitely a keeper

Really good, basic slaw. Nothing fancy, just delicious. This is now our family favorite.
