This colorful coleslaw is a longtime family favorite. Cabbage, carrots and green pepper are blended with a tasty dressing that gets its zest from a hint of mustard. When Mom set this slaw on the table, it disappeared fast. —Dianne Esposite, New Middletown, Ohio

I Loved the dressing!!!! A very nice zip to it. Thinking this dressing would be great on a cucumber salad, maybe a spinach salad even a marinade for veggies. Will absolutely make this again

Made with few changes. I added more sugar after tasting -like mine sweeter. I also nuked 3/4 cup raisins in some water to plump and added because we like the taste. Hasn't sat for 2 hours yet but sure it will be great.

This was a BIG disappointment. All we could taste was the mustard and little else. Would definitely not try this again. A waste of good ingredients.

My only change was 1-1/4 Tbl. of Splenda Sugar Blend. Whether on wheat crackers on as a side with salmon, this Slaw was great.

Liked the slaw and the tang the mustard gave it. Very easy to put together.

Coming from a family with "our own" slaw recipe, I was really taking a chance serving this one. I cut back on the mustard just a bit(personal taste) and it was delicious! My husband kept on raving about it. Easy to make and keeps well...IF there are leftovers!

Too strong flavored - More sugar? Less liquid/lemon juice/mustard? Plus too much dressing so very liquid
