I have used this recipe for several years now, substituting scoopable Splenda for the sugar, to make the recipe more diabetic friendly. EVERY SINGLE TIME, I take this slaw to a different function, I overhear someone say, "I don't usually care much for slaw, but this is good!". It is a keeper!

This is very pretty and easy to make. My husband really likes it even though he doesn't care for cabbage or cole slaw.
