Wonderful, even better than coleslaw ans healthier! I just made the recipe ad love it even before waiting for it to marinade. BUT I thought the amount of sugar was way too much and tried 1/3 the amount called for and it was good. It has a mild sweet sour taste with a good crunch It's so quick and easy to make. I also fond that using a slicer/julienne slicer from WalMart (under $!10) to work wonderfully fast. Definitely a recipe I will take to church potluck meals. p.s. Also warmed vinegar to dissolve sugar.

This was a delicious salad that I served with a Bratwurst stew for a family dinner.

We loved the crunch of this salad, as well as the flavor. Very easy to put together, except for the vinegar/sugar which I finally had to warm to get to dissolve. Next time I will try reducing the sugar to 1 cup.
